Chora is paired with the Good, its polar opposite; both are \"beyond being\" and the metaphors hitherto thought to disclose the transcendent. They underlie Plato's distinction of a procreative gap between being and becoming. The chiasmus between the Good and chora makes possible their mutual participation in one another. This gap makes possible both phenomenological and cosmological interpretations of Plato. \u003cbr\u003e Metaphor is restricted to beings as they appear in this gap through the crossing of metaphor's terms, terms that dwell with, rather than subulate, one another. Hermeneutically, through its \"is\" we can see something being engendered or determined by that crossing.\u003cbr\u003e Bigger's larger goal is to align the primacy of the Good in Plato and Christian Neoplatonism with the creator God \u003cbr\u003e of Genesis and the God of love in the New Testament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580229316888,"sku":"9780823223503","price":64.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/between-chora-and-the-good-metaphors-metaphysical-neighborhood-hardback-9780823223503","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
