La scomparsa del vecchio Dio non ha forse spianato la via a un nuovo modo di cercare, amare e pensare la divinità? La sospensione delle certezze dogmatiche non ha forse dischiuso la possibilità per un rinnovato stupore religioso? Situati sul crinale tra teismo e ateismo, abbiamo ora l'opportunità di rispondere in modo più libero alle cose che non possiamo capire. Il filosofo irlandese Richard Kearney chiama questa condizione ana-teismo, o rito...

God after God-- "ana-theos"--is a moment of creative "not knowing" signifying a break with former sureties and inviting the forging of new meanings from the most ancient of wisdoms. Anatheism refers to an inaugural event lying at the heart of every great religion, a wager between hospitality and hostility to the stranger -- the sense of something "more." By analyzing the roots of our own anatheistic moment today, Richard Kearney shows not only...
Continental philosophy, as it has emerged in the twentieth century, is less a seamless fabric than a patchwork quilt of diverse strands. Phenomenology, hermeneutics, existentialism, structuralism, critical theory, deconstruction--these are some of the salient movements which have developed in continental Europe between 1900 and the 1990s, though their influence is by no means confined to geographical location. Continental thought has proved hi...

Carnal Hermeneutics offers a philosophical approach to the body as interpretation. It engages our finite, spatio-temporal being-in-the-world through an account of meanings involving corporeal sensation, orientation, and linguistic articulation, and transcends the traditional dualism of rational understanding and embodied sensibility, arguing that our most carnal sensations are already interpretations.
Continental philosophy is one of the twentieth century's most important and challenging philosophical movements. This major volume includes fourteen chapters on its major representatives and schools.
