Emmanuel Falque’s The Wedding Feast of the Lamb represents a
turning point in his thought. Here, Falque links philosophy and
theology in an original fashion that allows us to see the full
effect of theology’s “backlash” against philosophy. By
attending closely to the incarnation and the eucharist, Falque
develops a new concept of the body and of love: By avoiding the
common mistake of “angelism”—consciousness without
body—Falque considers the depths to which our humanity reflects
animality, or body without consciousness. He shows the continued
relevance of the question “How can this man give us his flesh to
eat?” (John 6:52), especially to philosophy. We need to question
the meaning of “this is my body” in “a way that responds to
the needs of our time” (Vatican II). Because of the ways that
“Hoc est corpus meum” has shaped our culture and our modernity,
this is a problem both for religious belief and for culture.
