Description

Rescuing Rudolf Bultmann (1884-1976) from Heidegger's shadow, Nikolaas Cassidy-Deketelaere presents a philosophical reading of his theology, which reveals his unique phenomenology of love as an event. By reading Bultmann anew, in light of other continental philosophers' engagement with Heidegger - from Jaspers and Levinas to Ricoeur and Falque - this book contends that Bultmann not only builds on but radically develops and even improves Heidegger's phenomenology.
Guiding the reader through his argument in a clear and compelling style, Cassidy-Deketelaere reveals how Bultmann understands the experience of love as not being limited to an empirical occurrence but rather having a transcendental scope. With this, his theology both resolves criticisms of Heidegger's method and also provides a new paradigm of human finitude based on love. In a significant contribution to philosophy, Bultmann shows us that love is the central experience of human existence, one that transforms the being of Dasein, despite Heidegger never allowing for it.
