Given this, the book examines the complex role that \"image\" and \"imitation\" play in understanding and its world of meaning, the import of language and narrative for configuring human temporality, and the existence of self. The author's contention is that when critically understood, mimesis, with its roots in performative enactment, holds resources for reconsidering these basic dimensions of human life beyond imitative paradigms of thought.\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":52580214538520,"sku":"9780823212545","price":31.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/mimetic-reflections-a-study-in-hermeneutics-theology-and-ethics-paperback-softback-9780823212545","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
