Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-09 00:00:00 June Herron These essays represent Marion's early thought on the relationship between philosophy and theology, and introduce and defend the concept in phenomenology that he has become known for putting forth, namely the saturated phenomena. His later studies essentially unfold what is packed into this short book. I wish I had read this before attempting the meatier later works. But there's something wonderful about the density and freshness, even the daring nature of Marion's earliest work on what would become his life's work. There's nothing raw and or half-baked here. Only Marion's précis for all that would come later, in compact form. This is a really powerful book that packs punch and bedazzles like the phenomena it describes.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-17 00:00:00 Steinar Stromsnes This is a great introduction to Marion's work. For those interested in the idea of the 'saturated phenomenon, the essay 'The Banality of Saturation' itself is almost worth buying the book.
