The essays in Theology and the Political-written by some of the
world's foremost theologians, philosophers, and literary
critics-analyze the ethics and consequences of human action. They
explore the spiritual dimensions of ontology, considering the
relationship between ontology and the political in light of the
thought of figures ranging from Plato to Marx, Levinas to Derrida,
and Augustine to Lacan. Together, the contributors challenge the
belief that meaningful action is simply the successful assertion of
will, that politics is ultimately reducible to "might makes right."
From a variety of perspectives, they suggest that grounding human
action and politics in materialist critique offers revolutionary
possibilities that transcend the nihilism inherent in both
contemporary liberal democratic theory and neoconservative
ideology.Contributors. Anthony Baker, Daniel M. Bell Jr., Phillip
