Drew Dalton: Phenomenology and the Divine: Understanding the French Theological 'Turn'

Philosophy Colloquium October 21, 2008-10-22

Professor Drew Dalton

Phenomenology and the Divine: Understanding the French Theological 'Turn'

The talk deals with 20^th and 21^st 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.
