Transcendence and Phenomenology presents a definitive collection of essays discussing the much debated ‘turn to theology’ in philosophy, most evident in phenomenology.

This debate came to prominence with the French and English publication of Janicaud’s Phenomenology and the Theological Turn. Arguably the most pressing debate at the interface of philosophy and theology, witnessed by the rush to translate the protagonists of this religious turn: the work of Jean-Luc Marion, Jean-Yves Lacoste, Jean-Louis Chretien and Michel Henry, this collection of essays makes a significant intervention in the on-going argument, gathering together some of the finest phenomenologists writing today. It also presents major criticisms of phenomenology in relation to theology, especially from John Milbank. This volume will provide a framework for those new to the debate.
