Ray L. Hart argues that the human being is fundamentally an unfinished creature — one whose very incompleteness opens the possibility of revelation and self-transcendence through the imaginative act. Drawing on a rich synthesis of phenomenology, existentialism, and literary theory, the work constructs a detailed ontology in which language, image, and symbol are not mere ornaments of thought but the very medium through which being discloses itself. Written in a dense, scholarly tone that rewards careful reading, it engages thinkers from Heidegger and Ricoeur to classical theological sources, illustrating how a rhetoric of revelation must be grounded in the structures of human imagination. This foundational text remains essential reading for scholars of theology, philosophy of religion, and the humanities broadly conceived.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887924195547,"sku":"2026200007951-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1baf9c03-99f5-4334-92d8-abdc964198dc.png?v=1781749492","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007951-secondhand-unfinished-man-and-the-imagination-toward-an-ontology-and-a-rhetoric-of-revelation","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
