By illuminating the striking affinity between the most innovative
aspects of postmodern thought and religious mystical discourse,
"Shadow of Spirit" challenges the long established assumption that
western thought is committed to nihilism.
This collection of essays by internationally recognized scholars
explores the implications of the fascination with the "sacred,"
"divine" or "infinite" which characterizes much contemporary
thought. It shows how these concerns have surfaced in the work of
Derrida, Baudrillard, Lyotard, Kristeva, Irigaray and others.
Examining the connection between this postmodern "turn" and the
current search for a new discourse of ethics and politics, it also
stresses the contribution made by feminist thought to this
unexpected intellectual direction.
