This book examines Paul Tillichs theological concept of the abyss
by locating it within the context of current postmodern
antifoundalist discussions and debates surrounding feminism,
gender, and language. Sigridur Gudmarsdottir develops these tropes
into a constructive theology, arguing that Tillich's idea of the
abyss can serve as a necessary means of deconstructing the binaries
between the theoretical and the practical in producing nihilistic
relativism and the safe foundations of knowledge (divine as well as
human). How does one search for a map and method through an abyss?
In his writings, Tillich expressed the ambiguity and groundlessness
of being, the depth structure of the human condition, and the
reality of God as an abyss. The more we gaze into this abyss, the
more we encounter the faults in our various foundations. This book
outlines how Tillich's concept of the abyss creates greater
opportunities for complexity and liminality and opens up a space
where life and death, destruction and construction, fecundity and
horror, womb and tomb, can coincide.

A Philosophy of Sacred Nature introduces Robert Corrington's
philosophical thought, "ecstatic naturalism," which seeks to
recognize nature's self-transforming potential. Ecstatic naturalism
is a philosophical-theological perspective, deeply seated in a
semiotic cosmology and psychosemiosis, and it radically and
profoundly probes into the mystery of nature's perennial
self-fissuring of nature natured and nature naturing. Edited by
Leon Niemoczynski and Nam T. Nguyen, this collection aims to allow
readers to see what can be done with ecstatic naturalism, and what
directions, interpretations, and creative uses that doing can take.
A thorough exploration of the prospects of ecstatic naturalism,
this book will appeal to scholars of Continental philosophy,
religious naturalism, and American pragmatism.
This volume is based on the first set of formal conversations which
brings together the dynamic philosophies of two eminent thinkers:
Judith Butler and Alfred North Whitehead. Each has drawn from a
wide palette of disciplines to develop distinctive theories of
becoming, of syntactical violence, and creative opportunities of
limitation. In bringing together internationally renowned
interpreters of Butler and Whitehead from a variety of fields and
disciplines philosophy, rhetoric, gender and queer studies,
religion, literary and political theory the editors hope to set a
standard for the relevance of interdisciplinary philosophical
discourse today. This volume offers a unique contribution to and
for the humanities in the struggles of politics, economy, ecology,
and the arts, by reaching beyond their closed circles toward
understandings that may serve as the basis for the activation of
humanity today. Considered together, Butler and Whitehead delineate
a whole new cadre of approaches to long-standing problems as well
as never-before asked questions in the humanities.
