M285g"While philosophy believes it is impossible to have an experience of God without the senses, theology claims that such an experience is possible, but potentially idolatrous. In this book, John Panteleimon Manoussakis suggests a way to overcome the impasse by proposing an aesthetic that allows for a sensuous experience of God that is not subordinated to imposed categories or concepts. Manoussakis draws upon the rich theological traditions of the Eastern Church, including patristic and liturgical resources, to build a theological aesthetic founded on the inverted gaze of icons, the augmented language of hymns, and the reciprocity of touch. Engaging recent developments in the philosophy of religion and Continental thought, Manoussakis explores how a relational interpretation of being develops a fuller and more meaningful view of the phenomenology of religious experience that goes beyond metaphysics and ontotheology."--BOOK JACKET.
