Reviews

Ashok Collins offers us a meticulously argued and very compelling reading of Nancy's texts on the ""deconstruction of Christianity,"" exploring their critical implications across Derrida's writings, deconstruction, and the larger ""theological turn"" in Continental philosophy. The relations between philosophy, theology and religion are thought through to their decisive limits.--Philip Armstrong, Ohio State University Jean-Luc Nancy's project for the deconstruction of Christianity is one of recent philosophy's most challenging and controversial tasks. In this remarkable and lucidly argued study, Ashok Collins explores Nancy's thinking in scrupulous detail, throwing new light in particular on its relationship with Derridean deconstruction. This is a work all readers concerned with reassessing the philosophical stakes of Christianity today will consult with enormous profit.--Leslie Hill, University of Warwick
