Ever since Plato's Socrates exiled the poets from the ideal city inThe Republic, Western thought has insisted on a strict demarcation between philosophy and poetry. Yet might their long-standing ...quarrel hide deeper affinities? This book explores the distinctive ways in which twentieth-century and contemporary continental thinkers have engaged with poetry and its contribution to philosophical meaning making, challenging us to rethink how philosophy has been changed through its encounters with poetry. In wide-ranging reflections on thinkers such as Heidegger, Gadamer, Arendt, Lacan, Merleau-Ponty, Deleuze, Irigaray, Badiou, Kristeva, and Agamben, among others, distinguished contributors consider how different philosophers encountered the force and intensity of poetry and the negotiations that took place as they sought resolutions of the quarrel. Instead of a clash between competing worldviews, they figured the relationship between philosophy and poetry as one of productive mutuality, leading toward new modes of thinking and understanding. Spanning a range of issues with nuance and rigor, this compelling and comprehensive book opens new possibilities for philosophical poetry and the poetics of philosophy.

‘Modern European thought’ describes a wide range of philosophies, cultural programmes, and political arguments developed in Europe in the period following the French Revolution. Throughout this ...period, many of the wide range of ‘modernisms’ (and anti-modernisms) had a distinctly religious and even theological character – not least when religion was subjected to the harshest criticism. Yet for all the breadth and complexity of modern European thought and, in particular, its relations to theology, a distinct body of themes and approaches recurred in each generation. Moreover, many of the issues that took intellectual shape in Europe are now global, rather than narrowly European, and, for good or ill, form part of Europe's bequest to the world – from colonialism and the economic theories behind globalization through to democracy to terrorism. The Oxford Handbook of Theology and Modern European Thought attempts to identify and comment on some of the most important of these. The thirty chapters are grouped into six thematic parts, moving from questions of identity and the self, through discussions of the human condition, the age of revolution, the world (both natural and technological), and knowledge methodologies, concluding with a section looking explicitly at how major theological themes have developed in modern European thought. They engage with major thinkers including Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Schleiermacher, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Barth, Rahner, Tillich, Bonhoeffer, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Wittgenstein, and Derrida, amongst many others.

Charts a history of evil, revealing its meaning and nature to be remarkably complex, differentiated and contested. Demonstrates the breadth and depth of thinking on evil in Western thinking and ...metaphysics in particular. Identifies the myriad dominant frameworks that have been used to think about the problem of evil: theological, rational, socio-historical, symbolic–imaginary and analytical–agential. Ranges from early and Medieval Christian philosophy to modern philosophy, German Idealism, post-structuralism and contemporary analytic philosophy. Looks at Lacan and Castoriadis – thinkers not normally included in the analysis of evil. Argues that contemporary, so-called ‘secular’ thinking on evil continues to exhibit traces of the theological tradition that gave rise to the problem in the first place.
