FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

In the aptly titled The Call and the Response, renowned philosopher and theologian Jean-Louis Chretien revisits a favorite theme: how human life is shaped by the experience of call and response, explored with art as the context. For Chretien, art is about acts in response to what the artist sees or hears and how these acts provoke responses from viewers. Deeply spiritual and intellectual without being academic, his arguments are unique, both in style and content.
