Philosophy of Emmanuel Falque: Finitude and Incarnation

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781350351653

This volume provides the first comprehensive introduction to the philosophy of key contemporary French thinker, Emmanuel Falque.

Dedicating each chapter to the main themes in his thought, this book unpacks Falque's methodology, anthropology, phenomenology, Christian philosophy, and notions of embodiment, and further demonstrates how the concept of 'incarnation' is Falque's guiding thread throughout.

Following Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Luc Marion, continental philosophy of religion has to a large extent become a philosophy of religious experience. Emmanuel Falque, however, leads a new generation of philosophers urging a more careful consideration of human finitude, the interaction between philosophy and theology, and the position of atheism. Offering not just an alternative way of doing philosophy and theology, Falque argues that thinking itself exists in the transformation of one by the other.

The Philosophy of Emmanuel Falquepresupposes no detailed knowledge of Falque or topics animating contemporary French philosophy and Catholicism. Rather, in a clear and accessible style, Deketelaere contextualises the development of Falque's philosophy in the French intellectual landscape and showcases the originality and internal coherence of his distinct philosophical approach.

Drawing on all of Falque's major works, including The Loving Struggle, The Metamorphosis of Finitude, and his most recent yet-to-be-translated text, Hors phénomène, this is an indispensable guide to the pioneering thought of one of today's leading philosophers of religion.

Theism and Atheism: Opposing Arguments in Philosophy
<p><em>Theism and Atheism: Opposing Arguments in Philosophy</em> is a peer-reviewed, academic volume that has two separate editors in chief, with their respective editorial boards. The atheism side is led by Graham Oppy (Australian philosopher, Monash University). The theism side is led by Joseph Koterski, S.J. (American philosopher, Fordham University) and includes Christian, Jewish, and Muslim philosophers. <p/><br>The two editorial boards worked together to identify twenty key topics in philosophical debates regarding arguments for and against the existence of God (e.g., Religious Experience, Miracles, Our Universe, Human Beings, Science, Religious Diversity, etc.). The single volume is composed of forty total chapters. The format is such that an author taking the side of theism composes a chapter on a topic, followed by an atheism author covering the same topic (e.g., Miracles: Theism followed by Miracles: Atheism).<br> <p/>The title presents complex philosophical counter perspectives in a lucid manner. It grapples with issues that have occupied philosophers for more than two millennia. These include the sufficiency/insufficiency of an empirical explanation for the existence of the universe&#x3b; the capacity/incapacity of the empirical sciences to draw conclusions about a possible infinite being&#x3b; the validity/invalidity of philosophical arguments regarding the existence of an infinite being&#x3b; various notions of infinity&#x3b; the problem of evil, and so on. </p>
