This study begins with an examination of Milan Kundera's concept of
'kitsch', which is defined and investigated in his novel The
Unbearable Lightness of Being. The author here describes this
concept as 'the cliche which bonds the crowd together - the means
by which the thought control of the hierarchy or peer group is
dressed up, internalised, and rendered seductive'. Dr Shanks
relates kitsch and its dangers to the thought of Hegel, whom he
regards as a religious reformer wrestling with the issue at the
deepest level. What, he asks, is required to rescue the Christian
gospel from its pervasive corruption, which takes the form either
of ecclesiastical authoritarianism, or else a privatized,
'atomistic' spirituality? The author shows Hegel's answer to be
twofold. It involves, on the one hand, a decisive theological
re-evaluation of the secular political realm; and on the other, a
philosophical clarification of the inner truth of the Incarnation -
a strictly 'inclusive' christology. This book sets out to show the
centrality of such a practical concern to Hegel's systematic
theoretical enterprise as a whole.
