in: Dennis van den Auweele (ed), William Desmond's philosophy between metaphysics, religion, ethics, and aesthetics, Berlin, Springer, 2018Abstract
The final set of chapters discuss the contribution of metaxology to philosophizing about embodied, aesthetic being. Continuing his long-term voyage with Desmond, Richard Kearney takes up a number of paragraphs from Desmond's work so as to show how creation can be thought of in more dynamic, embodied and lively terms than as mere abstraction.
