Flight of the Gods - Ilse Nina Bulhof, Laurens ten Kate
Philosophical Perspectives on Negative Theology (Perspectives in Continental Philosophy, 11)
KORTE INHOUD
Contemporary continental philosophy approaches metaphysics with great reservation. A point of criticism concerns traditional philosophical speaking about God. Whereas Nietzsche, with his question "God is dead; who killed Him?" was, in his time, highly "unzeitgema" and shocking, the twentieth century by contrast, saw Heidegger's concept of "onto-theology" and its implied problematization of the God of the metaphysicians quickly become a famous term. In Heidegger's words, to a philosophicalconcept or "being" we can neither pray, nor kneel. Heidegger did not, however, return to the God of Christian faith. He tried to initiate a new way of speaking about God - a way that reveals the limits of philosophical discourse. Derrida, Marion, Bataille, Adorno, Taubes and Bakhtin, each in their own way, continue this exploration begun by Nietzsche and Heidegger. This book takes a fresh look at these developments. The "death of God" as the editors say in an introductory study, announcesnot so much the death of the "old God"...
