{"product_id":"an-actology-of-the-given-9781666781533","title":"An Actology of the Given","description":"An actology--introduced by the first book in this series, Actology: Action, Change and Diversity in the Western Philosophical Tradition--is a conceptual structure characterized by action, change, and diversity, and that envisages reality as action in changing patterns. The previous book in this series, Actological Readings in Continental Philosophy, reads a number of continental philosophers through this lens. This new book, An Actology of the Given, takes a somewhat different approach: it explores the concepts of the gift, givenness, giving, and other cognates in the light of reality understood as action in patterns rather than as beings that change: and it does so by discussing some anthropology, the writings of a number of continental philosophers, biblical texts, social policy, and a variety of other givens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Resource Publications (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666781533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Malcolm Torry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52774142247093,"sku":"9781666781533","price":36.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/an-actology-of-the-given-9781666781533","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
