The philosophical essays of this collection argue, each time from a singular perspective, that the task of thinking is to release the element of the undconditional from various closures, and thus to make it manifest as the true and the essential task of our individual and social existence. Naming this unconditional element as the "messianic", the book displays the profound ethico-political significance of messianic thought for our contemporary world. "To think is to thank: thinking and thanking, denkena and danken, in their very proximity - as Martin Heidegger remars - bring together an event that will one day give birth to the dancing start that will shine against the dark night in which we exist today. That is why Socrates calls the philosopher a midwife. To be a midwife, that is, to be a philosopher is to give birth to dancing stars, as Friedrich Nietzsche poetized once. The wright of thinking does not merely follow the law of gravity that pulls us down. If thinking is to measure the immeasurable, and if the measure of thinking is the gift out of the abyss of the immeasurable, then this weight is also a flight and a dance and a feast of joy in the sky of eternity.".…

Since the dominant concept of the "political" that is associated with the liberal-democratic assignment of its significance is inseparable from certain determination of secularization as historical reason, with the crisis of liberal democracies and concomitantly with the exhaustion of the notion of "secularization", the problem of religion/theological has come to assume profound significance for us once more. This important collection of essays by some of the most promising scholars of our time is an attempt to rethink the question of the political anew and of its intricate relation to religion.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. At the heart of the messianic thinking lies an unconditional idea of redemption. The messianic idea of unconditionality is based upon a qualitative distinction between the unredeemed world and the world to come. It is fundamental to this messianic idea that this distinction can't be grasped as transition or mediation. Taking his inspiration from thinkers like Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Lévinas, Walter Benjamin and Franz Rosenzweig, Saitya Brata Das renews here this task of the unconditional, the task of thinking "the advent of pure future that is always to come, unenclosed in the bounds of law or in the cages of the "worldly". He thereby draws profound ethico-political implications from such a thought that opens up the infinitude of the future from the heart of our finitude, and shows that such thinking is the very task of our time.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Thinking is not a detached, objective reflection about the world and existence; it also seeks to intervene in the world and transfigure existence. For mere description of reality as it exists, and mere objective knowledge of the world as it has already become, does not satisfy the thinker who thinks, and who suffers in the battlefield of forces, powers and laws. Instead of abstracting eternity from its contamination with time in order to contemplate the truth of eternity in an inviolate way, the philosopher, on the other hand, must intensify temporarily itself to apocalyptically burst itself out of all possible closures in the messianic light of eternity which must come today, hic et nunc, interrupting and yet fulfilling time. This is the fundamental concern of these short articles that were written on various occasions. In all these works the immense question of messianic justice is pursued as the question worthy of thought, the question that truly marks the dignity of the human being as essentially social being.
