God, the Flesh, and the Other : From Irenaeus to Duns Scotus Paperback / softback
by Emmanuel Falque
Paperback / softback
Description
In God, the Flesh, and the Other, the philosopher Emmanuel Falque joins the ongoing debate about the role of theology in phenomenology.
An important voice in the second generation of French philosophy's "theological turn," Falque examines philosophically the fathers of the Church and the medieval theologians on the nature of theology and the objects comprising it.
Falque works phenomenology itself into the corpus of theology.
Theological concepts thus translate into philosophical terms that phenomenology should legitimately question: concepts from contemporary phenomenology such as onto-theology, appearance, reduction, body/flesh, inter-corporeity, the genesis of community, intersubjectivity, and the singularity of the other find penetrating analogues in patristic and medieval thought forged through millennia of Christological and Trinitarian debate, mystical discourses, and speculative reflection.
Through Falque's wide-ranging interpretive path, phenomenology finds itself interrogated--and renewed.
