Editorial Reviews
Review
'This collection of insightful and provocative essays provides an opportunity for a reconsideration of the significance of theological reflection for contemporary cultural debate.' - Mark C. Taylor, Williams College
'There has been a reluctance to give theological and philosophical issues the emphasis they deserve. This collection of essays provides a significant contribution that will help to correct an oversight that has persisted for far too long. A timely and major contribution.' - Merold Westphal, Fordham University
From the Back Cover
Post-Secular Philosophy examines fifteen thinkers who have constituted and shaped contemporary Western philosophy. By placing the problem of God in its historical context, these essays clearly reveal the relationship of each philosopher's thought to theology. Those discussed are:
Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Freud, Wittgenstein, Lacan, Levinas, Derrida, Marion, Kristeva, Irigaray and Baudrillard.
A comprehensive and fascinating introduction by Phillip Blond places the debate in context, arguing that Christian faith must be considered a real alternative to the relativism and nihilism that dominates Western thinking.
