In Excess: Studies of Saturated Phenomena

The methods described for mtATPase analysis can be applied to the investigation of the enzyme complex in both normal and mutant cells and bio-energetic measurements that allow the quantitative definition of the functional performance of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate convertase and the efficiency of its coupling to the electron transport chain are discussed.

Abstract

In the third book in the trilogy that includes Reduction and Givenness and Being Given. Marion renews his argument for a phenomenology of givenness, with penetrating analyses of the phenomena of event, idol, flesh, and icon. Turning explicitly to hermeneutical dimensions of the debate, Marion masterfully draws together issues emerging from his close reading of Descartes and Pascal, Husserl and Heidegger, Levinas and Henry. Concluding with a revised version of his response to Derrida, In the Name: How to Avoid Speaking of It, Marion powerfully re-articulates the theological possibilities of phenomenology.
