{"product_id":"jean-luc-nancy-after-the-theological-turn","title":"Jean-Luc Nancy after the Theological Turn","description":"Nikolaas Cassidy-Deketelaere provides a novel and profound reading of Jean-Luc Nancy’s deconstruction of Christianity in the context of French phenomenology’s ‘theological turn’.   Deftly exploring Nancy’s work alongside major contemporary phenomenologists including Jean-Luc Marion, Michel Henry, Jean-Louis Chrétien and Emmanuel Falque, Jean-Luc Nancy after the Theological Turn argues that only by turning to theology can phenomenology come into its own as philosophy. Following Derrida’s treatment of Nancy, Cassidy-Deketelaere thinks ‘after’ the theological turn by deconstructing phenomenology’s inherent theological structure which made that turn possible; starting from the theological turn, this book seeks 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 himself of his divinity in the Incarnation – Nancy understands Christianity as deconstructing or de-theologising itself. Written in elegant and clear prose, this volume clarifies the phenomenological and theological consequences of one the most influential modern thinkers’ philosophy.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57555333349749,"sku":"9781350512115","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781350512115.jpg?v=1788791065","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/jean-luc-nancy-after-the-theological-turn","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
