Synopsis

Emmanuel Falque is one of the foremost philosophers working in the continental philosophy of religion today. Introducing students and scholars to his thought, this is the first English-language anthology to bring together the most important extracts from Falque’s major texts, key essays and even some previously unpublished material.

Spanning his entire career to date, The Emmanuel Falque Reader is organised thematically and showcases the vast array of Falque’s interests and concerns, from his early work on medieval philosophy to his methodology, anthropology and Christian phenomenology. It also includes an Editor’s Introduction, which situates Falque within phenomenology’s so-called ‘theological turn’ and provides a comprehensive overview of his philosophy.

Falque's thinking urges more careful consideration of human finitude, atheism in a secular age, and the interaction between philosophy and theology. Featuring further readings, user-friendly indices, and a foreward by esteemed scholar Kevin Hart, this essential collection explores the new directions Falque is taking the philosophy of religion.
