Description for Civil Society, Civil Religion
Hardback. Argues that a truly liberating civil theology must articulate the spiritual basis for what philosopher Jan Patocka called the solidarity of the shaken. This book explores the requirements of 'the solidarity of the shaken', with reference to Nietzsche, Levinas, and Hegel. It is intended for students in theology and political philosophy. Num Pages: 288 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: HRCM; JPA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 165 x 19. Weight in Grams: 530.
Civil Society, Civil Religion pioneers an essentially new genre of theology: a form of pure civil theology, on a systematic basis. It is an important and original book, in significant respects carrying forward the debate initiated by John Milbank's Theology and Social Theory, albeit in a very different way.
