Lyotard and Theology Paperback / softback
by Dr Lieven (KU Leuven, Belgium) Boeve
Part of the Philosophy and Theology series
Paperback / softback
Description
Lieven Boeve contextualises Lyotard's writings and approach with reference to his theological thought.
By focusing on issues such as the nature of the differend within language, the sublime experience and our (in)ability to witness to the breakdowns of language and representation, Lyotard's thought provokes theology to reconsider its own foundations.
Taking up issues such as a highly relevant critique of capitalism, itself vital to today's understanding of Christian praxis in a global world, Lyotard offers us a perspective by which to re-evaluate Christianity beyond its being a hegemonic discourse as it moves toward being a discourse concerned with love.
Through exploring the Christian narrative as an 'open' one, Boeve aims to make use of new possibilities for theology through a renewed comprehension of Lyotard's significance for today.
