The Monstrosity of Christ: Paradox or Dialectic? is a conversation between John Milbank and Slavoj Žižek (edited by Creston Davis) that “concerns the future of religion, secularity, and political hope in light of a monsterful event—God becoming human. For the first time since Žižek’s turn toward theology, we have a true debate between an atheist and a theologian about the very meaning of theology, Christ, the Church, the Holy Ghost, Universality, and the foundations of logic. The result goes far beyond the popularized atheist/theist point/counterpoint of recent books by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and others.” [description is from the MIT Press site] This book is slated for April 2009.


 

John Milbank and Adrian Pabst are speaking at the TELOS annual conference on 17th Jan. 2009 in New York. From the conference poster: “This conference will consider both the new administration in Washington, and political shifts abroad, viewed in light of TELOS’s long-standing concern with “administered society,” expansive bureaucracies, and the role of the ‘new class.'” For more information, click here to download the event poster.

A year-long seminar on Conor Cunningham’s Genealogy of Nihilism: Philosophies of Nothing and the Difference of Theology at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Faculdade de Filosofia:

“Objectivo do Seminário é propocionar um contexto para a investigação filosofica sobre a natureza das asserções referentes a alguns does principais aspectos do teí smo cristão. Entre outras, colocam-se as seguintes questões: Em que medida são essas crenças racionalmente justifcadas? Quais os factores que entram na constituição discursiva de uma argumentação que tenha a pretensão de ser racional e religiosa?

“Colocando-se no contexto de uma procura de elementos que possam ser úteis para uma «Gramática do Assentimento», este Seminário tem em vista recuperar para os nossos tempos aquilo que o Cardeal John Henry Newman corajosamente tentou fazer no sé culo XIX numa obra com precisamente aquele tí tulo. Conscientes de que os interesses de Newman eram primariamente apologéticos, o Seminario propoe-se, pelo menos na sua fase inicial, fazer um percurso mais exploratorio do que definitivo. Ao longo do presente ano de 2008-2009 será examinado o livro Genealogy of Nihilism de Conor Cunningham.”
