William Desmond (philosopher)
William Desmond is an Irish philosopher who has written on ontology, metaphysics, ethics, and religion. Former president of the Hegel Society of America and the Metaphysical Society of America, Desmond is professor of philosophy at the Higher Institute of Philosophy〔(Institute of Philosophy, Leuven )〕 at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, and also at Villanova University in Pennsylvania.

ISBN 0-7914-4847-9〕 The origin is the "original givenness that frees beings into their freedom"〔 and must be understood as an agapeic gift which is overdetermined and thus cannot be aptly described or determined univocally or dialectically. As a consequence of this overdetermined origin as gift, we both generate and are generated by the
