[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","One of the most complicated and ambiguous tendencies in contemporary Western societies is the phenomenon referred to as the Gturn to religion.G In philosophy, one of the most original thinkers critically questioning this GturnG is Jean-Luc Nancy. 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."]
