François Laruelle

Christo-Fiction

The Ruins of Athens and Jerusalem
Übersetzung: Mackay, Robin

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Laruelle targets the rigid, self-sustaining arguments of metaphysics, rooted in Judaic and Greek thought, and the radical potential of Christ, whose "crossing" disrupts their circular discourse. Laruelle's Christ is not the authoritative figure conjured by academic theology, the Apostles, or the Catholic Church. He is the embodiment of generic man, founder of a science of humans, and the herald of a gnostic messianism that calls forth an immanent faith.

Rezensionen

"Laruelle valorizes and rethinks the place of science for human liberation and how it may operate within philosophical practice itself. However, he thinks that science needs to tell stories, to create fictions, like the fiction of Christ, in order to stand on the side of the victims of history rather than the victors." - Anthony Paul Smith, La Salle University
