| Σύνοψη: | In his 2012 work, Faith of the Faithless, the philosopher Simon Critchley presented an "atheistic" formulation of faith as an "experiment" in "political theology." This work, as part of the so-called "turn to religion" in continental political philosophy, gave an account of what Critchley had formerly articulated as "atheistic transcendence." Tracing the genesis of the latter and then linking to his notion of the supreme fiction, the paper seeks to account for Critchley's "a/theological" shift. Through a close reading, the paper argues that Critchley's "faith of the faithless" depends on the Christian hermeneutic tradition - or radical theology - for its articulation. Finally, using John D. Caputo's radical theology as the principal proponent in this regard, the paper demonstrates a necessary symmetry with Critchley's faith of the faithless. Such a claim leads to the conclusion that while symmetrical, Critchley and Caputo are also inversely related. That is: a Critchlean radical politics nourished by radical theology opens up the possibility for a Caputoian radical political theology nourished by Critchlean radical politics. |
