Following Derrida’s treatment of Nancy, Nikolaas Cassidy-Deketelaere thinks ‘after’ the theological turn by deconstructing phenomenology’s inherent theological structure which made that turn possible: \u003ci\u003estarting from \u003c\/i\u003ethe theological turn phenomenology was structurally inclined to produce, this book seeks to move \u003ci\u003ebeyond \u003c\/i\u003eit (i.e., to ‘de-theologise’ phenomenology). This parallels Nancy’s engagement with Christianity: drawing on Paul’s \u003ci\u003ekenosis\u003c\/i\u003e—according to which God empties himself of his divinity in the Incarnation—he understands Christianity as deconstructing or de-theologising itself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in elegant and clear prose, in elaborating Nancy’s little-discussed writing on Christianity this volume clarifies the philosophical project of one of the most influential contemporary thinkers. Cassidy-Deketelaere persuasively establishes the radical significance of theology for phenomenology and explains the consequences of that relationship for the recent history of contemporary philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55279848948086,"sku":"9781350512078","price":91.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781350512078-jean-luc-nancy-after-the-theological-turn-a-phenomenology-of-kenosis","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
