This is a work of Continental philosophy at its best--erudite, historical, analytical, and insightful. In deep dialogue with some of the most interesting thinkers of the past half century, Carlson offers nothing less than a 'philosophy of spirit' for our age, where spirit appears as the world-forming power of love as well as the love-preserving power of world. A major contribution to our understanding of human finitude in its existential openness to time and world. --Robert Pogue Harrison, author of Juvenescence: A Cultural History of Our Age Thomas Carlson's With the World at Heart is masterful. With exceptional clarity, conceptual rigor, and creative thinking, Carlson brings one phase of the Continental philosophy of religion to culmination and opens up new avenues for future work. --Tyler Roberts, author of Encountering Religion: Responsibility and Criticism after Secularism

With the World at Heart is masterful. With exceptional clarity, conceptual rigor, and creative thinking, Carlson brings one phase of the continental philosophy of religion to culmination and opens up new avenues for future work. --John McCarthy, Loyola University Chicago
