In Deconstructing Undecidability, Michael Oliver explores the
problematic nature of decision, including the inherent exclusivity
that accompanies any decision, and the ways in which we attempt to
avoid recognizing this exclusivity. Advancing current readings of
the deconstructive work of Jacques Derrida, Oliver critically
examines the perennial problem of inescapable decision by focusing
on two particular scenarios. In discourses where a pursuit of
justice or liberation from systemic oppression is a primary
concern, Oliver argues for an appreciation of the inescapability of
making limited, difficult decisions for particular forms of
justice. He highlights a similarly precarious predicament in the
context of theological understandings and negotiations of divine
decision, pointing to the impossibility of safely navigating this
issue. In so doing, Oliver offers a renewed sense of undecidability
that urges continued vigilance with regard to complex, difficult
decisions. While wholeheartedly affirming the problem of
exclusivity that inevitably accompanies decision, Oliver argues for
the necessity of reckoning with difficult decisions and highlights
how one only ever mistakenly inhabits the illusory position of
"indecision," i.e. standing outside the decision point, as a
reflection of power and privilege. Ultimately, this book aims to
gain a greater appreciation for the complexity of the problem of
decision-in the contexts of justice work and theological
understandings of divine decision-in order to be more rigorous and
transparent in our continued engagement with it.
