Re-treating Religion is the first volume to analyze his long-term project GThe Deconstruction of Christianity,G especially his major statement of it in Dis-Enclosure. Nancy conceives monotheistic religion and secularization, not as opposite worldviews that succeed each other in time, but rather as springing from the same history. This history consists in a paradoxical tendency to contest oneGs own foundationsGwhether God, truth, origin, humanity, rationality, as well as to found itself on the void of this contestation. Nancy calls this unique combination of self-contestation and self-foundation the Gself-deconstructionG of the Western world. The book includes discussion with Nancy himself, who contributes a substantial GPreambleG and a concluding dialogue with the volume editors. The contributions follow Nancy in tracing the complexities of Western culture back to the persistant legacy of monotheism, in order to illuminate the tensions and uncertainties we face in the twenty-first century. 410 0$aPerspectives in continental philosophy. 606 $aDeconstruction 606 $aPhilosophy and religion 615 0$aDeconstruction. 615 0$aPhilosophy and religion. 676 $a230 701 $aAlexandrova$b Alena$01016131 701 $aNancy$b Jean-Luc$0157114 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960140003321 996 $aRe-treating religion$92376201 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02918nam 2200625Ia 450 001 9910954849703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-19-536334-5 010 $a1-280-52383-2 035 $a(CKB)2560000000295585 035 $a(EBL)270836 035 $a(OCoLC)191924779 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000279396 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11227269 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000279396 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10261305 035 $a(PQKB)11425357 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000034453 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL270836 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10142121 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL52383 035 $a(OCoLC)936848253 035 $a(OCoLC)19352020 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB168397 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC270836 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000295585 100 $a19890214d1990 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$a"Fallen from the symboled world" $eprecedents for the new formalism /$fWyatt Prunty 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aNew York $cOxford University Press$d1990 215 $a1 online resource (335 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-19-505786-4 311 08$a0-19-985512-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 301-308) and index. 327 $aCONTENTS; INTRODUCTION; 1 Symbol, Allegory, Causality, and the Phenomenal Flux; 2 Emaciated Poetry and the Imaginative Diet; 3 Poems That Speak, Poems That Sing; 4 Howard Nemerov: Mimicry and Other Tropes; 5 Patterns of Similitude in the Poetry of Justice, Hecht, Van Duyn, Bishop, Wilbur, Hollander, Pack, and Pinsky; CONCLUSION; NOTES; INDEX; A; B; C; D; E; F; G; H; I; J; K; L; M; N; O; P; Q; R; S; T; U; V; W; Y; Z 330 $aThis study evaluates figure and form in contemporary poetry, especially the powers of simile and simile-like structures. Examining the works of Nemerov, Wilbur, Bowers, Hecht, Justice, Cunningham, Bishop, Van Duyn, Hollander, Pack, Kennedy, Ammons, Creeley, and Wright, Prunty argues thatdoubts about language, the tradition, and theistic assumptions embedded in the tradition have made simile and various simile-like arrangements into major modes of thought.
