  • Genealogy of Nihilism: Philosophies of Nothing and the Difference Of
    GENEALOGY OF NIHILISM Nihilism is the logic of nothing as something, which claims that Nothing Is. Its unmaking of things, and its forming of formless things, strain the fundamental terms of existence: what it is to be, to know, to be known. But nihilism, the antithesis of God, is also like theology. Where nihilism creates nothingness, condenses it to substance, God also makes nothingness creative. Negotiating the borders of spirit and substance, theology can ask the questions of nihilism that other disciplines do not ask: Where is it? What is it made of? Why is it so destructive? How can it be made holy, or overcome? Genealogy of Nihilism rereads Western history in the light of nihilistic logic, which pervades two millennia of Western thought and is coming to fruition in our present age in a virulently dangerous manner. From Parmenides to Alain Badiou, via Plotinus, Avicenna, Duns Scotus, Ockham, Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Sartre, Lacan, Deleuze and Derrida, a genealogy of nothingness can be witnessed in development, with devastating consequences for the way we live. As a dualistic logic, nihilism has come to ground existence not in life but in the absences beyond it. We who are, are no longer the living, but rather the living dead; in the death-wielding modern approach to knowledge, we are all reduced to cadavers. The Trinitarian theology of Genealogy of Nihilism offers a counterargument that is sustained by nihilism even as it defeats it. In Christ’s ontological synthesis of divine spirit and incarnation, and in the miraculous logic of the resurrection, theology reunites presence with absence, non-being with being.

University of Dayton Adviser: Dr. John A. Inglis The importance of historical inquiry in all disciplines in the humanities has dramatically increased over the past century. From the philosophy of language to sociology and anthropology, the historical constitution of knowledge and human action continues to entrench itself in our ways of thinking. While shared values and beliefs constitute the practice of history, each use of history is structured by how it represents its subject matter. Each historical work presents its subject matter within a framework and/or context that cannot be reduced to mere empirical claims.

    Radical Orthodoxy’s Poiēsis: Ideological Historiography and Anti-Modern Polemic American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly 80:1 (Winter 2006): 1-21. Wayne J. Hankey Abstract. For Radical Orthodoxy participatory poiēsis is the only form of authentic postmodern theology and determines its dependence upon, as well as the character of, its narrative of the history of philosophy. This article endeavors to display how the polemical anti-modernism of the movement results in a disregard for the disciplines of scholarship, so that ideological fables about our cultural history pass for theology. Claiming to revive Christian Platonism (of a theurgic Neoplatonic kind), because of the Radical Orthodox antipathy to philosophy, its assertions cannot be proven rationally either in principle or in fact, and its followers are reduced to accepting its stories on the authority of their tellers. The moral and rational disciplines are replaced with a postmodern incarnational neo-Neoplatonism in which the First Principle and sensual life are immediately united, without the mediation of soul or mind. With this disappearance of theoria, surrender to the genuinely other, or even attentive listening, become impossible. I. Poiēsis: Christian and Postmodern. For Radical Orthodoxy authentic contemporary theology is a postmodern poiēsis. John Milbank, the founding father of the school, connects poiēsis and postmodern Christianity: If art as redemption … is modernity’s own antidote to modernity, then poesis may be the key … to a postmodern theology. Poesis … is an integral aspect of Christian practice and redemption. Its work is the ceaseless re-narrating and “explaining” of human history under the sign of the cross.1 He also tells us: [P]ractice cannot claim to “know” the finality of what it treats as final …We know what we want to know, and although all desiring is an “informed” 1 John Milbank, “A Critique of the Theology of the Right,” in idem, The Word Made Strange: Theology, Language, Culture (Oxford: Blackwell, 1997), 7–35, at 32.

Eisenhower Parkway PO Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Beyond Supersessionism: Gillian Rose and the Rhetoric of Transcendence By Vincent William Lloyd Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel Boyarin, Chair According to Gillian Rose (1947-1995), "In the wake of Marxism and Heidegger's Nazism, everybody's looking for an ethics. But in fact they should be looking for a political theology." The "political theology" that Rose recommends rejects supersessionist logic. She finds this logic at work across the humanities, from theology to political theory to literary criticism.

  • ASPECTS of TRUTH What Is 'Truth
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-84032-3 — Aspects of Truth Catherine Pickstock Frontmatter More Information ASPECTS OF TRUTH What is ‘truth’? The question that Pilate put to Jesus was laced with dramatic irony. But at a time when what is true and what is untrue have acquired a new currency, the question remains of crucial significance. Is truth a matter of the representation of things which lack truth in themselves? Or of mere coherence? Or is truth a convenient if redundant way of indicating how one’s language refers to things outside oneself? In her ambitious new book, Catherine Pickstock addresses these profound questions, arguing that epistemological approaches to truth either fail argumen- tatively or else offer only vacuity. She advances instead a bold metaphysical and realist appraisal which overcomes the Kantian impasse of ‘subjective knowing’ and ban on reaching beyond supposedly finite limits. Her book contends that in the end truth cannot be separated from the transcendent reality of the thinking soul. Catherine Pickstock is Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. Her books include After Writing: On the Liturgical Consummation of Philosophy (1997), Thomas d’Aquin et la Quête Eucharistique (2001) and Repetition and Identity (2014). In addition, she was co-editor – with John Milbank and Graham Ward – of the influential collection Radical Orthodoxy: A New Theology (1998). © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University
