Religion and Violence – Philosophical Perspectives from Kant to Derrida

Autor Hent De Vries
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mar 2020
Originally published in 2002. Does violence inevitably shadow our ethico-political engagements and decisions, including our understandings of identity, whether collective or individual? Questions that touch upon ethics and politics can greatly benefit from being rephrased in terms borrowed from the arsenal of religious and theological figures, because the association of such figures with a certain violence keeps moralism, whether in the form of fideism or humanism, at bay. Religion and Violence: Philosophical Perspectives from Kant to Derrida's careful posing of such questions and rearticulations pioneers new modalities for systematic engagement with religion and philosophy alike. --Talal Asad, City University of New York Graduate Center "Journal of Religion"
