Shadow of Spirit - Postmodernism and Religion (Hardcover)

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.
