The Trespass of the Sign by Kevin Hart

The Trespass of the Sign offers a clear and thorough account of the relations between deconstruction and theology. Kevin Hart argues that, contrary to popular thought on the topic, deconstruction does not have an antitheological agenda. Rather, deconstruction seeks to question the metaphysics of any theology. Hart pays particular attention to mystical theology as nonmetaphysical theology.
..While avoiding deconstruction's obscure jargon, Hart situates his argument within most of the recent secondary literature... -Choice ...a challenging, learned, and troubling book that ought to prompt serious debate... -The Journal of Religion In this remarkable and often brilliant study, Hart presents an original and compelling case for a structural link between deconstruction and mystical theology, especially between Derrida and medieval theologians such as Pseudo-Dionysius Areopagite, Meister Eckhart and Theresa of Avila. -Relgion and Literature
