  • Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity By
    Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity by Tenzan Eaghll A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto ©Copyright by Tenzan Eaghll 2016 Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity Tenzan Eaghll Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the origins and development of the French philosopher Jean- Luc Nancy’s work on the “deconstruction of Christianity.” By situating Nancy's work in light of the broader Continental philosophical analysis of religion in the 20th Century, it argues that what Nancy calls the "deconstruction of Christianity" and the "exit from religion" is his unique intervention into the problem of metaphysical nihilism in Western thought. The author explains that Nancy’s work on religion does not provide a new “theory” for the study of religion or Christianity, but shows how Western metaphysical foundations are caught up in a process of decomposition that has been brought about by Christianity. For Nancy, the only way out of nihilism is to think of the world as an infinite opening unto itself, for this dis- encloses any transcendent principle of value or immanent notion of meaninglessness in the finite spacing of sense, and he finds the resources to think this opening within Christianity. By reading Christian notions like "God" and "creation ex nihilo" along deconstructive lines and connecting them with the rise and fall of this civilization that once called itself "Christendom," he attempts to expose "the sense of an absenting" that is both the condition of possibility for the West and what precedes, succeeds, and exceeds it.

  • Introduction
    © Copyrighted Material Introduction Amanda Boetzkes and Aron Vinegar Why Heidegger? Why Now? Any art historian, philosopher of art, or theorist of the visual who is concerned with issues of historiography and interpretation above and beyond a particular chronological specialization, will undoubtedly be familiar with Martin Heidegger’s writings. Heidegger’s best-known contribution to the history of art, his 1935–36 essay ‘Origin of the Work of Art’, calls into question the essence of the artwork, the status of the artist as originary creator, and thus, the stability of the artwork’s meaning. It is here that Heidegger challenges the notion of intentionality as a meaning bestowed by the artist to the work of art and in so doing repositions the notion of intentionality altogether, from the work of art’s inherent content to the path of questioning that the work elicits. Further, Heidegger refutes the method of comparison, already an established approach to situating works of art in a particular place in history. Instead, he posits hermeneutic movement as an access into the fundamental terms that constitute the work of art in a time and place: its origin, materiality (or thingliness), its status as a ‘work’, and its operation of setting up a world. In short, the essay stands as an imperative to both ask the essential questions of artworks and scrutinize our ways of interpreting them for our own time. As art history opens its areas of specialization in particular historical times and geographic locations to different fields of inquiry that have

  • To Philosophize Is to Learn How to Die?’1
    KRITIKE VOLUME TWO NUMBER ONE (JUNE 2008) 31-49 Article ‘To Philosophize 1 is to Learn How to Die?’ Saitya Brata Das Those who apply themselves to philosophy in the proper way are doing no more nor less than to prepare themselves for the moment of dying and the state of death – Plato.2 I hilosophical thinking, as it is thinking of existence, is essentially finite thinking. This is to say that as thinking of existence, philosophical P thinking is essentially also thinking of finitude. This ‘also’ is not the accidental relationship between existence and finitude. Rather, to think existence in its finitude, insofar as existence is finite, is to think existence in its existentiality. Philosophy that gives itself the task of thinking the relationship between existence and finitude, must in the same gesture, be concerned with its own finitude: to philosophize is not only to think the finitude of existence, but the very finitude of thinking that thinks finite existence. To philosophize is not only to philosophize the finitude of existence as such, but also in so far as philosophising itself is a task which is essentially in itself finite. To assume as the task of thinking the finitude of existence is to think the very finitude of philosophical thinking: this is the profound relationship that exists between existence and philosophy, which is that philosophizing existence and an existential philosophy are essentially finite. This is perhaps what Socrates says of philosophizing: ‘to philosophize is to learn how to die.’ “To philosophize is to learn how to die”: this is to say, to philosophize is to learn that philosophy and existence are essentially finite.
