总结:This article attempts to provide a theoretical context conducive to a fruitful encounter between Irigaray and Christian theology. It does so through the critique of metaphysics and the turn to the symbolic, leading finally to a recovery of the eschatological. Irigaray makes this transition through two related gestures. Through her concept of the sensible transcendental Irigaray seeks a re-enchantment of the world that is grounded in the symbolic. Through her notion of the double syntax, grounded in the incommensurability of women and men, Irigaray establishes the priority of both dialogue and the ‘other’ for the constitution of subjectivity. Finally, this leads Irigaray to challenge theology to rethink the importance of the eschatological dimension of the Christian kerygma.
