This book examines the various encounters between Jean-Luc Marion
and Jacques Derrida on "the gift," considers their many differences
on "desire," and demonstrates how these topics hold the keys to
some of phenomenology's most pressing structural questions,
especially regarding "deconstructive" approaches within the field.
The book claims that the topic of desire is a central lynchpin to
understanding the two thinkers' conflict over the gift, for the
gift is reducible to the "desire to give," which initiates a turn
to the topic of "generosity." To what degree might loving also
imply giving? How far might it be suggested that love is reducible
to desire and intentionality? It is demonstrated how Derrida (the
generative "father" of deconstruction) rejects the possibility of
any potential relation between the gift and desire on the account
that desire is bound to calculative repetition, economical
appropriation, and subject-centered interests that hinder
deconstruction. Whereas Marion (a representative of the
phenomenological tradition) demands a unique union between the gift
and desire, which are both represented in his "reduction to
givenness" and "erotic reduction." The book is the first extensive
attempt to contextualize the stark differences between Marion and
Derrida within the phenomenological legacy (Husserl, Heidegger,
Kant), supplies readers with in-depth accounts of the topics of the
gift, love, and desire, and demonstrates another means through
which the appearing of phenomena might be understood, namely,
according to the generosity of things.
Continental philosophers of religion have been engaging with
theological issues, concepts and questions for several decades,
blurring the borders between the domains of philosophy and
theology. Yet when Emmanuel Falque proclaims that both theologians
and philosophers need not be afraid of crossing the Rubicon - the
point of no return - between these often artificially separated
disciplines, he scandalised both camps. Despite the scholarly
reservations, the theological turn in French phenomenology has
decisively happened. The challenge is now to interpret what this
given fact of creative encounters between philosophy and theology
means for these disciplines. In this collection, written by both
theologians and philosophers, the question "Must we cross the
Rubicon?" is central. However, rather than simply opposing or
subscribing to Falque's position, the individual chapters of this
book interrogate and critically reflect on the relationship between
theology and philosophy, offering novel perspectives and redrawing
the outlines of their borderlands.
