Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

This collection of original papers provides a prismatic guide and reckoning to one of the most controversial and poorly understood writers of the present day. His work in relation to consumption, politics, feminism, culture, theory and postmodernity is clearly discussed and evaluated. The picture of Baudrillard that emerges is surprising but always engaging and accessible. This book is a benchmark for understanding and assessing this dazzling and disturbing writer.

No other contemporary social theorist has this kind of critical, sociological imagination.

Post-secular Philosophy: Between Philosophy and Theology (Chap. 5 "Jean Baudrillard: Seducing God")
by Phillip Blond. 376 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

From Nietzsche to the present, the Western philosophical tradition has been dominated by a secular thinking that has dismissed discussion of God as largely irrelevant. In recent years however, the issue of theology has returned to spark some of the most controversial debates within contemporary philosophy. Discussions of theology by key contemporary philosophers such as Derrida and Levinas have placed religion at centre stage. Post-Secular Philosophy is one of the first volumes to consider how God has been approached by modern philosophers and consider the links between theology and postmodern thought. Fifteen accessible essays present a clear and compelling picture of how key thinkers including Descartes, Nietzsche, Freud, Wittgenstein, Heidegger and Derrida have made God a central part of their thinking. Each philosopher and how they have approached and criticised theology is placed in a clear historical context.Placing the collection in context with Phillip Blond's outstanding introduction, Post-Secular Philosophy presents a fascinating discussion of the alternatives to the relativism and nihilism that dominate Western thinking.
