If religion once seemed to have played out its role in the intellectual and political history of Western secular modernity, it has now returned with a vengeance. In Philosophy and the Turn to Religion, Hent de Vries argues that a turn to religion discernible in recent philosophy anticipates and accompanies this development in the contemporary world. Though the book reaches back to Immanuel Kant, Martin Heidegger, and earlier, it takes its inspiration from the tradition of French phenomenology, notably Emmanuel Levinas, Jean-Luc Marion, and, especially, Jacques Derrida. Tracing how Derrida probes the discourse on religion, its metaphysical presuppositions, and its transformations, de Vries shows how this author consistently foregrounds the unexpected alliances between a radical interrogation of the history of Western philosophy and the religious inheritance from which that philosophy has increasingly sought to set itself apart.De Vries goes beyond formal analogies between the textual practices of deconstruction and so-called negative theology to address the necessity for a philosophical thinking that situates itself at once close to and at the farthest remove from traditional manifestations of the religious and the theological. This paradox is captured in the phrase adieu (à dieu), borrowed from Levinas, which signals at once a turn toward and a leave-taking from God?and which also gestures toward and departs from the other of this divine other, the possibility of radical evil. Only by confronting such uncanny and difficult figures, de Vries claims, can one begin to think and act upon the ethical and political imperatives of our day. 606 $aReligionsphilosophie$2swd 606 $aGodsdienst$2gtt 606 $aFilosofie$2gtt 606 $aPhilosophy and religion$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01060826 606 $aPhilosophie et religion$xHistoire 606 $aPhilosophy and religion$xHistory 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 00$aReligionsphilosophie. 615 10$aGodsdienst. 615 10$aFilosofie. 615 0$aPhilosophy and religion. 615 0$aPhilosophie et religion$xHistoire. 615 0$aPhilosophy and religion$xHistory. 676 $a291.1/75 700 $aVries$b Hent de. $0733667 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524700403321 996 $aPhilosophy and the Turn to Religion$92781898 997 $aUNINA
