It has been 25 years since Dominique Janicaud derisively proclaimed
the "theological turn" in French phenomenology due to the return of
God to philosophy through the influence of "religious" thinkers
such as Levinas, Ricoeur, and Marion. Since then, the "theological
turn" has flowered into a fully-fledged movement on both sides of
the Atlantic. But, what will be the shape and direction of the
second generation of the "theological turn"? In this important new
book, Emmanuel Falque engages with all the major twentieth-century
French phenomenologists-something heretofore unavailable in
English. He argues that rather than being content to argue for the
return of God to philosophy, something fought for and developed by
the foregoing generation of the "theological turn," it is necessary
to stage a philosophical confrontation, or disputatio, with them
and their work in order to ensure the ongoing vitality of the
unexpected contemporary relationship between philosophy and
theology. Drawing on the legacies of Jaspers and Heidegger, who
both staged their own "loving struggles" to arrive at defining
philosophical conclusions, Falque confronts, interrogates, and
learns from his most influential philosophical forebears to steer
the "theological turn" in a new direction. Offering a novel and
creative philosophy of the body, Falque argues for a reorientation
of philosophy of religion generally and the "theological turn"
specifically from a philosophy of revelation from above to a
philosophy of the limit from below.
