About the Book
Explores Jean-Luc Nancy's innovative engagement with the deconstructive tradition and its implications for thinking religion.Book Synopsis
In dialogue with Derridean deconstruction, this book highlights Nancy's distinctive figurative philosophical style which emerges as a transformative force, one that radicalises différance and draws out its creative potential. Through this generative logic, Nancy reconfigures how we conceptualise Christianity--not as an entity apart from philosophical reflection, but as intricately intertwined with it. Ashok Collins offers a bold new perspective on the 'turn to religion' within deconstruction, charting fresh pathways for debate and reflection far beyond its established boundaries.Review Quotes
Jean-Luc Nancy's project for the deconstruction of Christianity is one of recent philosophy's most challenging and controversial tasks. In this remarkable and lucidly argued study, Ashok Collins explores Nancy's thinking in scrupulous detail, throwing new light in particular on its relationship with Derridean deconstruction. This is a work all readers concerned with reassessing the philosophical stakes of Christianity today will consult with enormous profit.--Leslie Hill, University of Warwick
