Jean-Luc Nancy after the Theological Turn
0 - Default Title
Description
Deftly exploring Nancy's work alongside major contemporaryphenomenologists including Jean-Luc Marion, Michel Henry, Jean-LouisChrétien and Emmanuel Falque, Jean-Luc Nancy after the TheologicalTurn argues that only by turning to theology can phenomenologycome into its own as philosophy. Following Derrida's treatment ofNancy, Cassidy-Deketelaere thinks 'after' the theological turn bydeconstructing phenomenology's inherent theological structure whichmade that turn possible; starting from the theological turn, this bookseeks to move beyond it, that is, to 'de-theologise' phenomenology.This approach parallels Nancy's engagement with Christianity:drawing on Paul's kenosis - according to which God empties himselfof his divinity in the Incarnation - Nancy understands Christianity asdeconstructing or de-theologising itself.
Written in elegant and clear prose, this volume clarifies thephenomenological and theological consequences of one the mostinfluential modern thinkers' philosophy.
