Nietzsche and Freud saw Christianity as metaphysical escapism, with
Nietzsche calling the religion a "Platonism for the masses" and
faulting Paul the apostle for negating more immanent, material
modes of thought and political solidarity. Integrating this debate
with the philosophies of difference espoused by Gilles Deleuze,
Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan, and Pier Paolo
Pasolini, Ward Blanton argues that genealogical interventions into
the political economies of Western cultural memory do not go far
enough in relation to the imagined founder of Christianity. Blanton
challenges the idea of Paulinism as a pop Platonic worldview or
form of social control. He unearths in Pauline legacies otherwise
repressed resources for new materialist spiritualities and new
forms of radical political solidarity, liberating "religion" from
inherited interpretive assumptions so philosophical thought can
manifest in risky, radical freedom.
