This book provides a significant and insightful exploration of the
so-called 'theological turn' in contemporary French thought. The
philosopher Jacques Derrida speaks of a deeply ambiguous desire to
'save the name' of God in his work on negative theology, and this
desire resonates in different ways in the work of his
contemporaries. This turn to religion within the work of a group of
thinkers who have been stereotypically identified as relativists or
nihilists prompts a series of questions which form the background
to this study.
Negative Theology and Modern French Philosophy advance a reading of
negative theology as an ancient name for something that is
essential, not simply to modern French thought, but to all
responsible thought and action whatsoever. It will be of essential
interest to theologians and philosophers and will also interest
those concerned with the work of Derrida and his contemporaries.
