Merleau-Ponty has long been known as one of the most important philosophers of aesthetics, yet most discussions of his aesthetics focus on visual art. This book corrects that balance by turning to Merleau-Ponty's extensive engagement with literature.
After a detailed analysis of just what radical theology means, as a concept and in its relationship to traditional theology, this volume offers a selection of essays written for both academic and wider audiences which show aim at catching radical theology in action, in the church and in the culture at large.

Deals with the history that consists in a paradoxical tendency to contest one's own foundations - whether God, truth, origin, humanity, or rationality - as well as to found itself on the void of this contestation. This book includes discussion with Nancy himself, who contributes a substantial Preamble and a concluding dialogue with volume editors.
Radical Hospitality addresses a timely and challenging subject for contemporary philosophy: the ethical responsibility of opening borders, psychic and physical, to the stranger. The book engages urgent moral conversations concerning identity, nationality, immigration, peace, and justice for the work of living together.

Murderous Consent details our implication in violence that we do not directly inflict but in which we are structurally complicit. Marc Crepon invites the reader to resist that implication by arguing for an ethicosmopolitics grounded in our receptivity to the pleas for assistance that the vulnerability and mortality of the other enjoin everywhere.
