De surcroît: Études sur les phénomènes saturés

By Fritz Damler

Book Overview

In Excess: Studies of Saturated Phenomena is the third book in Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenological trilogy, which includes Reduction and Givenness and Being Given. Marion renews his argument for a phenomenology of givenness, with penetrating analyses of the phenomena of event, idol, flesh, and icon. With an eye turned more explicitly than ever before to hermeneutical dimensions of the debate, Marion masterfully draws together issues emerging from his close reading of Descartes and Pascal, Husserl and Heidegger, Levinas and Henry. Concluding with a revised version of his response to Derrida, "In the Name: How to Avoid Speaking of It," Marion powerfully rearticulates the theological possibilities of phenomenology. Flowing at a breathtaking pace, In Excess is Marion writing at his very best and readily illustrates why he has been described as one of the world's most important living philosophers.

Helpful book on algorithms using C

C programming is still with us because of its high performance ability and this book outlines several algorithms using the language. It begins with a classification of algorithms as randomized, divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming, greedy and approximation. Some algorithms the author states defy classiification but he does not give examples. Pointers are discussed in the next chapter, and covers how to avoid dangling pointers,...

Fantastic addition to any personal libriuary.

Just what I needed. One of those books I had to ring in sick to work, sit at home and read.Writing commercial c applications for the Internet, I was looking for a book to give me assistence with my coding. What I found was something which caused me to go back and rewrite a lot of my work!Starting by explaining exactly how memory is managed when calling fuctions, going on to explain, in english, how many commonly used...

Stuff I have never seen before!

I have read a half-dozen or more books pertaining to C Algorithms, and most of them were the same. This touched on the usual stuff - sorting, hashing, linked lists, etc. But it touched on these subjects in ways that are so general purpose that the sample code can be used with little modification! It also adds a couple of new things such as Set algorithms and an explaination of how to pass functions as paramenters to functions...

I don't know what the first guy is talking about, but...

I loved this book. Saved me so much time and effort when I had to delve back into C after a two year hiatus. The code works, and works well! Good discussion of the whys and wherefores of the various algorithms

Exceptional writing, elegant code, great examples

Mastering Algorithms in C is the most readable algorithms book I've ever encountered. Not only does the author have a tremendous command of English, he has a writing style that is simply a pleasure to read. The author also deserves mention as having one of the cleanest coding styles I've come across. Having taught and worked with computers for over 15 years, I've seen many. It is no easy feat to present the subject of algorithms...
