{"product_id":"gods-acting-mans-acting-9789004162709","title":"God's Acting, Man's Acting","description":"The topic tackled in this book is Philo’s account of the complex, double-sided nature of God’s acting – the two-sided coin of God as transcendent yet immanent, unknowable yet revealed, immobile yet creating – and also the two sides of acting in humans – who, in an attempt to imitate God, both contemplate and produce.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn both contexts, divine and human, Philo considers that it would not be proper to give precedence to either side – the result would be barren. God’s acting and man’s acting are at the same time both speculative and practical, and it is precisely out of this co-presence that the order of the world unfolds. Philo considers this two-sided condition as a source of complexity and fertility. Francesca Calabi argues that, far from being an irresolvable contradiction, Philo’s two-fold vision is the key to understanding his works. It constitutes a richness that rejects reduction to apparently incompatible forms and aspects.","brand":"Francesca Calabi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48273669488891,"sku":"9789004162709","price":224.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_0340757d-afbb-42bb-9842-0c97d1c9cd41.jpg?v=1773716915","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/gods-acting-mans-acting-9789004162709","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
