Toward a Theopolitics of Resilient Democracy Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsThis is one of the finest integrations of complex streams of American thought that I have read in a long time. Hogue has given us a theopolitical vision of nature that is at once philosophically stirring and religiously relevant to the perplexities of our Anthropocene paradox. American Immanence draws upon James, Dewey, Whitehead and their lineage to make a sophisticated case for pragmatic naturalism. It is elegant, erudite, and morally urgent.--Nancy Frankenberry, Dartmouth College How at this moment of American precarity can one book combine such precise prophetic timeliness with so vast a conceptual apparatus? How can it remain at once lucidly engaging in its activating rhetoric and philosophically nuanced in its theopolitics? How can it bring home to us the planetary force of anthropocene uncertainty without one bout of apocalyptic hysteria? Read Hogue and learn how!--Catherine Keller, author of Cloud of the Impossible and On the Mystery American immanence, the fourth trial of democracy, a bifocal political theology, the Anthropocene paradox -- with these explosive concepts, Michael Hogue provides us with activist, democratic ways to think and respond to the contemporary tradition. Both drawing and working upon James, Dewey and Whitehead to come to terms with the contemporary condition, this book inspires and illuminates the democratic Left at the same time.
