Rather than aligning immanence with the enclosures of the subject, The Self-Emptying Subject engages the history of Christian mystical theology, modern philosophy, and contemporary theories of the subject to rethink immanence as what precedes and exceeds the very difference between the (human) self and the (divine) other, between the subject and transcendence. By arguing that transcendence operates and subjects life in secular no less than in religious domains, this book challenges the dominant distribution of concepts in contemporary theoretical discourse, which insists on associating transcendence exclusively with religion and theology and immanence exclusively with modern secularity and philosophy. The Self-Emptying Subject argues that it is important to resist framing the relationship between medieval theology and modern philosophy as a transition from the affirmation of divine transcendence to the establishment of autonomous subjects. Through an engagement with Meister Eckhart, G.W.F. Hegel, and Georges Bataille, it uncovers a medieval theological discourse that rejects the primacy of pious subjects and the transcendence of God (Eckhart); retrieves a modern philosophical discourse that critiques the creation of self-standing subjects through a speculative re-writing of the concepts of Christian theology (Hegel); and explores a discursive site that demonstrates the subjecting effects of transcendence across theological and philosophical operations and archives (Bataille). Taken together, these interpretations suggest that if we suspend the antagonistic relationship between theological and philosophical discourses, and decenter our periodizing assumptions and practices, we might encounter a yet unmapped theoretical fecundity of self-emptying that frees life from transcendent powers that incessantly subject it for their own ends. 410 0$aModern language initiative. 606 $aIncarnation 606 $aEthics 606 $aOther (Philosophy) 606 $aSelf (Philosophy) 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aBataille. 610 $aEthics. 610 $aFrancois Laruelle. 610 $aHegel. 610 $aImmanence. 610 $aKenosis. 610 $aMeister Eckhart. 610 $aMysticism. 610 $aPhilosophy of Religion. 610 $aSubject. 610 $aTranscendence. 615 0$aIncarnation. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aOther (Philosophy) 615 0$aSelf (Philosophy) 676 $a141.3 700 $aDubilet$b Alex$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01055658 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480202103321 996 $aThe Self-Emptying Subject$92489227 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04563nam 22004093 450 001 9910510572903321 005 20211130080204.0 010 $a9783030864927$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9783030864910 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6817936 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6817936 035 $a(CKB)19934886700041 035 $a(OCoLC)1287129067 035 $a(EXLCZ)9919934886700041 100 $a20211130d2022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aElections and Voters in Britain 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing AG,$d2022. 210 4$d©2022. 215 $a1 online resource (338 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Denver, David Elections and Voters in Britain Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022 9783030864910 327 $aIntro -- Preface -- Contents -- List of Figures -- List of Tables -- 1 Studying British Elections -- Why Study Elections?
