Summary:

"In dialogue with Derridean deconstruction, this book highlights Nancy's distinctive figurative philosophical style which emerges as a transformative force, one that radicalises différance and draws out its creative potential. Through this generative logic, Nancy reconfigures how we conceptualise Christianity—not as an entity apart from philosophical reflection, but as intricately intertwined with it. Ashok Collins offers a bold new perspective on the 'turn to religion' within deconstruction, charting fresh pathways for debate and reflection far beyond its established boundaries"-- De Gruyter Brill.
