Beschreibung
Beyond Secular Order is the first of a two-volume work that expands upon renowned theologian John Milbank's innovative attempt to understand both theology and modern thought begun in his previously published classic text Theology and Social Theory. * Continues Milbank's innovative attempt to understand both theology and modern thought begun in Theology and Social Theory - considered a classic work in the development of systematic theology * Authored by one of the world's most influential and highly regarded contemporary theologians * Draws on a sweep of ideas and thinkers to argue that modern secularism is a form of Christian heresy that developed from the Middle Ages and can only be overcome by a renewed account of Christendom * Shows how this heresy can be transformed into a richer blend of religion, modernity and politics * Reveals how there is a fundamental homology between modern ideas about ontology and knowledge and modern ideas about political action, expressed in both theory and practice
Rezensionen
"Readers familiar with Milbank's work will appreciate his focused prose while extensive footnotes referencing his previous work provide background information for others."
"...Interesting, creative, suggestive, and beguiling... [Milbank] is fearless in his cross-examination of modern secularist assumptions about the autonomy of philosophy and its much-heralded liberation from theology's apron strings." (Church Times, 24 August 2015) "Such a vision is partial and imperfect, but it's a signpost that, as we continue to watch modern metaphysics and politics develop, will be an important critical and constructive dialogue partner for a long time to come."
"Here, in Beyond Secular Order, he offers a more concise systematic analysis focusing on the ontological and political dimensions of modernity. He lays bare the deep connections between metaphysical assumptions, on the one hand, and political and social implications, on the other."
"Exploratory, daring, irritating and illuminating by turns, John Milbank cannot be compared with anything else in the intellectual life of our times ... It will become the cardinal text for interpreting him and arguing with him."
--Oliver O'
"New and exciting avenues of exploration open again and again in this richly suggestive work."
--Charles Taylor, McGill University
"In a careful and thorough canvassing of both ontological and political consequences, John Milbank displays the peculiar density which participation bestows on reality, by contrast with the binary oppositions latent in many current alternatives. By tracing everything to a free creator, Milbank confirms George Steiner's prescient thesis in Real Presences, as well as offers extensive confirmation of his own probing inquiries since Thelogy and Social Theory. Daunting in its scope yet utterly focused in what it delivers."
--David Burrell, University of Notre Dame
