David Newheiser deposited Derrida and the Danger of Religion in the group
Religious Studies on Humanities Commons 8 years, 2 months agoThis paper argues that Jacques Derrida provides a compelling rebuttal to a secularism that seeks to exclude religion from the public sphere. Political theorists such as Mark Lilla claim that religion is a source of violence, and so they conclude that religion and politics should be strictly separated. In my reading, Derrida’s work entails that a…[Read more]

David Newheiser deposited Conceiving Transformation Without Triumphalism: Joachim of Fiore Against Gianni Vattimo on Humanities Commons 8 years, 2 months ago
Gianni Vattimo describes a postmodern Christian faith, centered upon love to the exclusion of dogma, that takes its orientation from Joachim’s practice of spiritual interpretation and his view of historical progress towards the age of the Spirit; however, he misconstrues Joachim on both counts. Whereas Vattimo supposes that Joachim’s spiritual i…[Read more]

David Newheiser deposited Eckhart, Derrida, and The Gift of Love on Humanities Commons 8 years, 2 months ago
This paper argues that Jacques Derrida and Meister Eckhart both construe love as a gift that is entirely free of economic exchange, and both conclude on this basis that love cannot be grasped or identified. In my reading, Eckhart and Derrida do not rule out consideration of one’s own well-being, but their accounts do entail that calculated s…[Read more]

Sarah Coakley’s God, Sexuality, and the Self constitutes a major intervention in the debate over the role of religion in the modern world. For understandable reasons, the place of constructive religious thought in the university is fraught; because theology has often asserted its superiority over other disciplines, it is not clear whether i…[Read more]

David Newheiser deposited Foucault, Gary Becker and the Critique of Neoliberalism on Humanities Commons 8 years, 2 months ago
Although Foucault’s 1979 lectures on The Birth of Biopolitics promised to treat the theme of biopolitics, the course deals at length with neoliberalism while mentioning biopolitics hardly at all. Some scholars account for this elision by claiming that Foucault sympathized with neoliberalism; I argue on the contrary that Foucault develops a p…[Read more]

Peter Martens deposited Revisiting the Allegory/Typology Distinction: The Case of Origen in the group
Religious Studies on Humanities Commons 8 years, 2 months agoThere is a significant debate in Origenian scholarship today about the allegory/typology distinction. Some scholars accept the demarcation between these two forms of nonliteral scriptural interpretation, whereas others reject it. In this paper I seek to determine whether, or to what extent, the allegory/typology distinction is valid for study of…[Read more]
