Hegel is a thinker who haunts modern Christian theology. Although
forever being refuted and rejected, he is also forever resurgent as
an influence. Here Andrew Shanks diagnoses that rejection, very
largely, as a defensive reaction against the sheer, troubling,
prophetic open-mindedness of his thought. No doubt there is some
justice to the charge that Hegel is religiously one-sided; in
particular, as this criticism has been developed by Kierkegaard
and, more recently, William Desmond. Against Desmond, however,
Shanks argues that the critique itself is no less one-sided. The
argument focuses especially on the dialectic of the Unhappy
Consciousness in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, seeking to open
up its relationship to recent developments in neuropsychology. Key
Hegelian terms are also retranslated, in a bid to minimise the
off-putting awkwardness of Hegel's jargon. What is at issue here
is, surely, the most explosive element in Hegel's thought as a
whole. And this is discussed not just as an item of intellectual
history, but, rather, very much as a still-living option.
