While the revelation of God's name is a central theological topic,
its ethical and political significance are often overlooked. In a
world filled with violence committed 'in the name of God', how
might invoking God's name enable peace, community, and hope? The
Politics of Praise argues that the redemptive potential of naming
God lies in how this event transforms friendship. It breaks new
ground by tracing the connections between naming God and friendship
in the work of Thomas Aquinas and Jacques Derrida. Advancing an
innovative reading of Aquinas on the divine names, the book
explores how Dionysius' mysticism shapes Aquinas' appropriation of
Aristotle's ethics, then retraces how Derrida's reading of religion
renders possible an alternative conception of friendship. These
explorations lead to a surprising convergence between Aquinas and
Derrida on the conditions of friendship.
