Christo-Fiction - The Ruins of Athens and Jerusalem

Informationen zum Autor François Laruelle is emeritus professor at the University of Paris Ouest! Nanterre la Défense (Paris X)! and a lecturer at the Collège International de Philosophie. He is the author of more than twenty works of philosophy! including Principles of Non-Philosophy! Philosophies of Difference! Future Christ! and The Concept of Non-Photography. Robin Mackay is a philosopher and editor and publisher of Collapse Journal of Philosophical Research and Development. Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung A revolutionary effort to restore the radical politics of Christianity and the inherent value of faith.
