Beskrivning
Saitya Brata Das argues that in Kierkegaard’s work we find a radical eschatological critique, not only of the liberal-humanist pathos of modernity but also the political theology of Carl Schmitt, that seeks to legitimise the sovereign power of the state by an appeal to a divine or theological foundation. Relating Kierkegaard’s notion of ‘Christianity without Christendom’ to the Schellingian eschatological critique of sovereignty, he shows how Schelling’s insistence on the eschatological difference between religion and politics is transformed and further intensified in Kierkegaard’s critique of historical reason. Such an exception without sovereignty, Das argues, is the very task of our contemporary time.

Recensioner i media

Aa a sequel to Saitya Brata Das’s work on the Political Theology of Schelling, his current work on Kierkegaard, is an attempt to bring to contemporary discussions an open-ended and negative approach to religion and politics. The sovereign power of the political and the theological is called into question eschatologically in and through the work of the existential philosopher Kierkegaard.
