Phenomenology and the Divine: Understanding the French Theological ‘Turn’
click the above link to listen, or right click to download.
The talk deals with 20th and 21st century developments in the phenomenology founded by Husserl and Heidegger that allow the discussion of the Divine within phenomenology. The Turn began with Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, but the heart of the turn includes: Michel Henry, Jean-Louis Chretien, Jean-Yves Lacoste, and finally Jean-Luc Marion (you could also include Jean-Francois Courtine and Paul Ricoeur if you wanted, but these weren’t discussed in the lecture).
Suggestion for further reading: Phenomenology and the ‘Theological Turn’: the French Debate by Dominique Janicaud.
