(2018) William Desmond's philosophy between metaphysics, religion, ethics, and aesthetics, Dordrecht, Springer.
Continuing on this task of thinking God, Mark Novak advances the idea that the approaches by William Desmond and his long-standing travelling companion Richard Kearney are closely intertwined. Both are interested in thinking, not only about God but also on doing so from the between, a middle space of porosity that does not settle in advance on eros or agape, existence or possibility. While differences in emphasis emerge in discussion between them, Desmond and Kearney are largely of one mind on how to proceed, and Novak points out that both are involved in a process of theopoetics, namely the imaginative and poetical representation of God.
