Description

A leading philosopher and theologian, Jean-Louis Chretien uses poetry and painting to explore a theme that runs through all of his work: how human life is shaped by the experience of call and response. For Chretien, we live by responding to the call of experience with words, gestures, expressions and silence. In meditations on Rembrandt, Delacroix, Manet, Verlaine, Keats and other artists, Chretien shows how "talking hands of painters" and the "secretly lucid" voices of poets confront the finitude of the human body. "Hand to Hand" is a renewal of art in all its provocative, transforming, spiritual presence.

Author Biography:

Jean-Louis Chretien teaches philosophy at the University of Paris IV. His books, as translated into English, include The Unforgettable and the Unhoped For (Fordham University Press, 2002), Hand to Hand (Fordham University Press, 2003), and The Call and the Response (Fordham University Press, 2004). He is one of the coeditors of Phenomenology and the “Theological Turn”: The French Debate (Fordham University Press, 2000), as well as the author of the follow-up volume Phenomenology “Wide Open”: After the French Debate (Fordham University Press, 2005).
