Jean-Luc Marion

phenomenology of religion

Christina M. Gschwandtner

pp. 165-186

It is Marion's position that phenomenology can play a significant role in providing an understanding of religious experience. Though he rejects metaphysics, and states that the "death of God" must be taken seriously as a dismantling of an idolatrous expression of divinity, his depiction of the notion of a "saturated phenomenon" seeks to reintroduce religious experience as a viable aspect of philosophy.
