John D. Caputo: The Collected Philosophical and Theological Papers: Volume 6: 2008-2012: Radical Theology

Volume 6: Radical Theology collects the papers published by Caputo during his last years in the Syracuse University Religion Department when he began describing his work as “radical theology,” a successor form of the “radical hermeneutics” with which he began. This point is developed in several essays on Hegel, Derrida, and the logic of the cross. Included also is his detailed rebuttal of Martin Hägglund’s “radical atheism” by way of a radical theology; a series of essays on the “theology of the flesh,” which were part of a planned but never completed book; a proposal for a “pedagogy of the event;” and discussions of the work of William Desmond, Mark C. Taylor, Merold Westphal, and Edith Wyschogrod.
