AUTHOR

Schweiker, William

SUMMARY

This book argues that a basic problem in thinking about understanding, temporality, and selfhood is due to ôimitativeö modes of thought found in much traditional Western philosophy and theology. Given this, the book examines the complex role that ôimageö and ôimitationö play in understanding and its world of meaning, the import of language and narrative for configuring human temporality, and the existence of self. The authorÆs contention is that when critically understood, mimesis, with its roots in performative enactment, holds resources for reconsidering these basic dimensions of human life beyond imitative paradigms of thought.Schweiker, William is the author of 'Mimetic Reflections A Study in Hermeneutics Theology and Ethics' with ISBN 9780823212545 and ISBN 0823212548.
