In this book, she develops a metaphysics of the mind as existing through knowledge of itself. Num Pages: 280 pages. BIC Classification: HPJ; HPK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational.

Hardback. Examines the two main insights that govern Claude Bruaire's ontology of gift (ontodology). First, gift is being in its spiritual way of being. Second, being itself (ipsum esse) is gift only because the fullness proper to pure act is first of all an absolutely free donation in itself and to itself before being donation to another (creation).
