The Emmanuel Falque Reader: Key Writings in Phenomenology and Continental Philosophy of Religion


Add your own review!

Overview

Emmanuel Falque is one of the foremost philosophers working in the continental philosophy of religion today. This is the first English-language anthology to bring together extracts from Falque’s major works, key essays and even some previously unpublished material. Spanning his entire career to date, The Emmanuel Falque Reader is organised thematically and showcases the vast array of Falque’s interests, from his early work on medieval philosophy to his methodology, anthropology and Christian phenomenology. It also includes an Editor’s Introduction, which situates Falque within phenomenology’s so-called ‘theological turn’ and provides a comprehensive overview of his philosophy. Falque's thinking urges more careful consideration of human finitude, atheism in a secular age, and the interaction between philosophy and theology. Featuring a foreword by esteemed scholar Kevin Hart, this essential collection explores the new directions in which Falque is taking continental philosophy of religion.
