According to Michel Henry, no thinker has been more influential
than Marx, and no one has been more misunderstood. With his
characteristic clarity and elegance, Henry seeks to pull out the
philosophical heart of Marx's work and the reasons this complex
philosophy has so often been simplified, distorted and obscured.
Marx: An Introduction is not just a recovery of the theoretical
centre of Marx's thinking, but also a brilliant introduction to the
work of Marx in general; concise and punchy without glossing over
the difficult material, it provides a totally fresh reading of
Marx's corpus. Michel Henry shares with Marx a concern for the
living work and the living individual and this shared preoccupation
is brilliantly conveyed throughout the book. An essential read for
those wrestling with Marx for the first time, and those looking for
a new way to approach well-trodden territory.

This title presents a clear and concise introduction to Gilles
Deleuze's complex relationship with the various fields of theology.
Deleuze's relationship with theology is a complex one. Indeed,
there seem to be many possible objections to such an 'assemblage'
taking place. In the first book of its kind to engage with this
seemingly problematic dialogue, Kristien Justaert shows the ways in
which Deleuze's thought can in fact advance issues in political and
feminist theology in particular, while also exploring the important
theological and spiritual aspirations contained in Deleuze's
philosophy itself, as part of his lifelong quest for the
'Absolute'. Justaert examines the theological components in
Deleuze's writings, examining the influence of such modern thinkers
as Spinoza and Leibniz and showing that the concepts of univocity,
expression and creativity give Deleuze's metaphysics a distinctly
theological character. The book goes on to connect Deleuze with
established theologies, identifying areas in which Deleuze can
contribute to the dynamics of contemporary theology, and argues
that aspects of Deleuze's philosophy can enable theology to become
more meaningful in a globalised world. This is the ideal
introduction to Deleuzian theologies, and Deleuze's own theology,
for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students. "The Deleuze
Encounters" series provides students in philosophy and related
subjects with concise and accessible introductions to the
application of Deleuze's work in key areas of study. Each book
demonstrates how Deleuze's ideas and concepts can enhance present
work in a particular field.
Concilium has long been a household-name for cutting-edge critical
and constructive theological thinking. Past contributors include
leading Catholic scholars such as Hans Kung, Gregory Baum and
Edward Schillebeeckx, and the editors of the review belong to the
international "who's who" in the world of contemporary theology.
Published five times a year, each issue reflects a deep knowledge
and scholarship presented in a highly readable style, and each
issue offers a wide variety of viewpoints from leading thinkers
from all over the world.
