Otherness is a dominant motif in contemporary thought from the
realm of science to the arts, and the otherness of God is likewise
a major theme of current philosophical and religious thought. This
volume offers essays on the nature of God and the fundamental tasks
of philosophy and theology written by internationally recognized
thinkers in the distinct fields of philosophy, religious studies,
and theology.
The Otherness of God traces the lineage of its theme from Plato
and Aristotle through Neoplatonic, medieval, and Renaissance
expression, and on through Reformation thought and German idealism
to dialectical theology and deconstruction. In spite of a variety
of approaches, the contributors all recognize that one may still
think theologically -- indeed, must do so -- even when one
fundamentally challenges the very conceptualization of the nature
of the divine that has traditionally dominated metaphysical theism.
This provocative collection, drawn primarily from an
interdisciplinary conference at the University of Virginia, should
attract those interested in the philosophy of religion, the history
of philosophy and theology, and the theological interpretation of
secular culture.
