The Divine Manifold is a postmodern enquiry in intersecting themes
of the concept and reality of multiplicity in a chaosmos that does
not refuse a dimension of theopoetics, but rather defines it in
terms of divine polyphilia, the love of multiplicity. In an
intricate play on Dante s Divine Comedy, this book engages
questions of religion and philosophy through the aporetic dynamics
of love and power, locating its discussions in the midst of, and in
between the spheres of a genuine philosophy of multiplicity. This
philosophy originates from the poststructuralist approach of Gilles
Deleuze and the process philosophical inspirations of Alfred N.
Whitehead. As their chaosmos invites questions of ultimate reality,
religious pluralism and multireligious engagement, a theopoetics of
love will find paradoxical dissociations and harmonizations with
postmodern sensitivities of language, power, knowledge and
embodiment. At the intersection of poststructuralism s and process
theology s insights in the liberating necessity of multiplicity for
a postmodern cosmology, the book realizes its central claim. If
there is a divine dimension of the chaosmos, it will not be found
in any identification with mundane forces or supernatural powers,
but on the contrary in the absolute difference of polyphilic love
from creativity. Yet, the concurrent indifference of love and power
its mystical undecidability in terms of any conceptualization will
lead into existential questions of the insistence on multiplicity
in a world of infinite becoming as inescapable background for its
importance and creativeness, formulating an ecological and ethical
impulse for a mystagogy of becoming intermezzo."
