A Philosophical Anthropology of the Cross - The Cruciform Self (Hardcover)

What does the cross, both as a historical event and a symbol of religious discourse, tell us about human beings? In this provocative book, Brian Gregor draws together a hermeneutics of the self through Heidegger, Gadamer, Ricoeur, and Taylor and a theology of the cross through Luther, Kierkegaard, Bonhoeffer, and Jungel to envision a phenomenology of the cruciform self. The result is a bold and original view of what philosophical anthropology could look like if it took the scandal of the cross seriously instead of reducing it into general philosophical concepts."
