This volume provides the first comprehensive introduction to the philosophy of key contemporary French thinker, Emmanuel Falque. Dedicating each chapter to the main themes in his thought, this book unpacks Falque’s methodology, anthropology, phenomenology, Christian philosophy, and notions of embodiment, and further demonstrates how the concept of ‘incarnation’ is Falque’s guiding thread throughout. Following Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Luc Marion, continental philosophy of religion has to a large extent become a philosophy of religious experience. Emmanuel Falque, however, leads a new generation of philosophers urging a more careful consideration of human finitude, the interaction between philosophy and theology, and the position of atheism. Offering not just an alternative way of doing philosophy and theology, Falque argues that thinking itself exists in the transformation of one by the other. The Philosophy of Emmanuel Falque presupposes no detailed knowledge of Falque or topics animating contemporary French philosophy and Catholicism. Rather, in a clear and accessible style, Deketelaere contextualises the development of Falque’s philosophy in the French intellectual landscape and showcases the originality and internal coherence of his distinct philosophical approach. Drawing on all of Falque’s major works, including The Loving Struggle, The Metamorphosis of Finitude, and his most recent yet-to-be-translated text, Hors phénomène, this is an indispensable guide to the pioneering thought of one of today’s leading philosophers of religion.

Nikolaas Cassidy-Deketelaere provides a novel and profound reading of Jean-Luc Nancy’s deconstruction of Christianity in the context of French phenomenology’s ‘theological turn’.Deftly exploring Nancy’s work alongside major contemporary phenomenologists including Jean-Luc Marion, Michel Henry, Jean-Louis Chrétien and Emmanuel Falque, Jean-Luc Nancy after the Theological Turn argues that only by turning to theology can phenomenology come into its own as philosophy. Following Derrida’s treatment of Nancy, Cassidy-Deketelaere thinks ‘after’ the theological turn by deconstructing phenomenology’s inherent theological structure which made that turn possible; starting from the theological turn, this book seeks to move beyond it, that is, to ‘de-theologise’ phenomenology. This approach parallels Nancy’s engagement with Christianity: drawing on Paul’s kenosis – according to which God empties himself of his divinity in the Incarnation – Nancy understands Christianity as deconstructing or de-theologising itself. Written in elegant and clear prose, this volume clarifies the phenomenological and theological consequences of one the most influential modern thinkers’ philosophy.

Rescuing Rudolf Bultmann from Heidegger's shadow, Nikolaas Cassidy-Deketelaere presents a philosophical reading of his theology, which reveals his unique phenomenology of love as an event.Bultmann (1884-1976) is often regarded as a mere footnote to Heidegger's philosophy: a theologian whose thought was principally built on the Heideggerian analytic of human finitude. Yet, by reading Bultmann anew, in light of other continental philosophers' engagement with Heidegger from Jaspers and Levinas to Ric ur and Falque this book rejects that idea as a misunderstanding. Instead it contends that Bultmann radically develops and even improves upon Heidegger's phenomenology.Guiding the reader through his argument in a clear and compelling style, Cassidy-Deketelaere reveals how Bultmann understands the experience of love as not being limited to an empirical occurrence but rather having a truly transcendental scope: what phenomenologists would now call 'event'. With this, Bultmann's theology not only resolves the contemporary critique of Heidegger's method as precluding a dynamic between the empirical and transcendental, but further provides a new alternative paradigm of human finitude based on love, and not death (Heidegger) or birth (Arendt).Far more than a footnote, The Phenomenology of Love as Event uncovers Bultmann's significant contribution to philosophy. Through his theological writings, Bultmann shows us that love is the central experience of human existence, one that transforms the being of Dasein, despite Heidegger never allowing for it.
