Description: "These essays by the French Catholic philosopher Jean-Luc Marion touch on aspects of love and self-love and the paradoxes that arise when one attempts to weigh private interest against the social good. In presenting his arguments, Marion draws on the classical tradition, on the New Testament and early Christian texts, and on the work of Continental philosophers such as Nietzsche and Sartre."--BOOK JACKET.
