Phenomenology & Existentialism; Philosophy of religion; Christian theology

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.

Reviews for The Philosophy of Emmanuel Falque: Finitude and Incarnation

What happens when phenomenology takes theology seriously? This book shows how Falque’s engagement with Christianity sharpens philosophical thinking rather than weakening it. Cassidy-Deketelaere’s work is essential for understanding contemporary debates in continental philosophy of religion. * Martin Koci, Ass.-Prof. Martin Koci, PhD.
