Crossing the Rubicon by Emmanuel Falque
Falque presents a theological critique of French phenomenology, engaging Levinas, Ricoeur, Merleau-Ponty, Bonaventure, Scotus, Aquinas... He advances a Catholic hermeneutic of the body and the voice, a phenomenology of believing, and a metaphysical movement from human finitude and contingency to conversion and transformation via the overlay of the God-man.
"Crossing the Rubicon is Emmanuel Falque's Discourse on Method: a pungent and polemic treatise on why we become better philosophers when we also do theologyShould we 'cross the Rubicon' and so trouble the distinction between philosophy and theology? Of course, Falque tells us! We have everything to gain, including something of great interest: a hermeneutic of the body and the voice." -- -Kevin Hart University of Virginia
