Words of Life is the sequel and companion to Phenomenology and the
"Theological Turn," edited by Dominique Janicaud, Jean-Francois
Courtine, Jean-Louis Chretien, Michel Henry, Jean-Luc Marion, and
Paul Ricoeur. In that volume, Janicaud accuses Levinas, Henry,
Marion, and Chretien of "veering" from phenomenological neutrality
to a theologically inflected phenomenology. By contrast, the
contributors to this collection interrogate whether phenomenology's
proper starting point is agnostic or atheistic. Many hold the view
that phenomenology after the theological turn may very well be true
both to itself and to the phenomenological "things themselves." In
one way or another, all of these essays contend with the limits and
expectations of phenomenology. As such, they are all concerned with
what counts as "proper" phenomenology and even the very structure
of phenomenology. None of them, however, is limited to such
questions. Indeed, the rich tapestry that they weave tells us much
about human experience. Themes such as faith, hope, love, grace,
the gift, the sacraments, the words of Christ, suffering, joy,
life, the call, touch, listening, wounding, and humility are woven
throughout the various meditations in this volume. The contributors
use striking examples to illuminate the structure and limits of
phenomenology and, in turn, phenomenology serves to clarify those
very examples. Thus practice clarifies theory and theory clarifies
practice, resulting in new theological turns and new life for
phenomenology. The volume showcases the work of both senior and
junior scholars, including Jean-Luc Marion, Jean-Yves Lacoste,
Kevin Hart, Anthony J. Steinbock, Jeffrey Bloechl, Jeffrey L.
Kosky, Clayton Crockett, Brian Treanor, and Christina
Gschwandtner-as well as the editors themselves.
