Post-secular Philosophy Paperback

Post-Secular Philosophy examines fifteen thinkers who have constituted and shaped contemporary Western philosophy. By placing the problem of God in its historical context, these essays clearly reveal the relationship of each philosopher's thought to theology. Those discussed are: Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Freud, Wittgenstein, Lacan, Levinas, Derrida, Marion, Kristeva, Irigaray and Baudrillard. A comprehensive and fascinating introduction by Phillip Blond places the debate in context, arguing that Christian faith must be considered a real alternative to the relativism and nihilism that dominates Western thinking. 1.
