A New Enlightenment -- 5. Aesthetics after the Death of God -- 6. Technology as Pharmakon -- 7. Beyond in the Midst: Alternative Practices of Faith.This book argues that identified weaknesses in recent theological engagement with New Materialism can be successfully addressed by incorporating insights from Relational Christian Realism. Central themes are those of the relational and the apophatic as they represent different but essential strands of a materialist theology. The relational refers to the work of Deleuze and its influence upon key New Materialist thinkers such as De Landa, Bryant, and Braidotti but supplemented from Relational Christian Realism by Latour and Badiou and with reference to the concept of the apophatic as found in Keller and Kearney. Examining the concepts of transcendence, human agency, and a New Enlightenment, the book moves into more practical areas of aesthetics and technology concluding with a response to the contemporary apocalyptic of climate change. Being “beyond in the midst” requires developing spaces of faithful dissent and holding the tension between the relational and the apophatic in theology.<.Radical Theologies and Philosophies,2634-663XTheologyReligion—PhilosophyPostmodernismChristian Theologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A3150Philosophy of Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E33000Postmodern Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E45000Theology.Religion—Philosophy.Postmodernism.Christian Theology.Philosophy of Religion.Postmodern Philosophy.230Reader Johnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut74428BOOK9910255205203321Theology and New Materialism2202187UNINA
