John D. Caputo

    26. říjen 1940

    John D. Caputo je americký filozof, který se výrazně zaměřuje na postmoderální křesťanství, kontinentální filozofii náboženství a je zakladatelem teologického hnutí známého jako slabá teologie. Jeho rozsáhlé dílo se soustředí na klíčové filozofické přístupy, jako je hermeneutika, fenomenologie a dekonstrukce. Caputo zkoumá hluboké otázky víry a interpretace s jedinečným analytickým přístupem. Jeho filozofie nabízí čtenářům osvěžující pohled na vztah mezi náboženstvím, filozofií a moderním myšlením.

      Exploring the intersection of theology and atheism, the book delves into Paul Tillich's notion that atheism can serve as a starting point for theological inquiry. It intertwines this with Derrida's concept of the undeconstructible, suggesting that the focus of theology should shift from the traditional view of God as a supreme being to the exploration of the unconditional. Caputo presents a thought-provoking examination of faith, belief, and the deeper meanings inherent in theological discourse.

      Presents the provocative idea that God does not exist, God insists, while God's existence is a human responsibility, which may or may not happen

      "After a detailed analysis of just what radical theology means, as a concept and in its relationship to traditional theology, this volume offers a selection of essays written for both academic and wider audiences which show aim at catching radical theology in action, in the church and in the culture at large"--

      In Search of Radical Theology
    • Defends the notion of obligation without ethics, of responsibility without the support of ethical foundations. Retelling the story of Abraham and Isaac, this work strikes the pose of a postmodern-day Johannes de Silentio, accompanied by communications from such startling figures as Johanna de Silentio, Felix Sineculpa, and Magdalena de la Cruz.

      Is anything ever not an interpretation? Does interpretation go all the way down? Is there such a thing as a pure fact that is interpretation-free? If not, how are we supposed to know what to think and do? These tantalizing questions are tackled by renowned American thinker John D Caputo in this wide-reaching exploration of what the traditional term 'hermeneutics' can mean in a postmodern, twenty-first century world. As a contemporary of Derrida's and longstanding champion of rethinking the disciplines of theology and philosophy, for decades Caputo has been forming alliances across disciplines and drawing in readers with his compelling approach to what he calls "radical hermeneutics." In this new introduction, drawing upon a range of thinkers from Heidegger to the Parisian "1968ers" and beyond, he raises a series of probing questions about the challenges of life in the postmodern and maybe soon to be 'post-human' world.'

      Pushing past the constraints of postmodernism which cast "reason" and"religion" in opposition, God, the Gift, and Postmodernism, seizes the opportunity to question the authority of "the modern" and open the limits of possible experience, including the call to religious experience, as a new millennium approaches. Jacques Derrida, the father of deconstruction, engages with Jean-Luc Marion and other religious philosophers to entertainquestions about intention, givenness, and possibility which reveal the extent to which deconstruction is structured like religion. New interpretations of Kant, Heidegger, Husserl, and Derrida emerge from essays and discussions with distinguished philosophers and theologians from the United States and Europe. The result is that God, the Gift, and Postmodernism elaborates a radical phenomenology that stretches the limits of its possibility and explores areas where philosophy and religion have become increasingly and surprisingly convergent.Contributors John D.

      God, the gift and postmodernism
    • This book is a model of philosophical and Heideggerian scholarship. Avoiding the extremes of abject worship and facile refutation, it moves into the heart of the later Heideggers work. Not only is Caputo faithful to the texts, but he is reflective and critical, inviting the reader to philosophize with and against Heidegger.

      The Mystical Element in Heidegger's Thought
    • A work that questions - What is the nature of God? What is the nature of being? What is the relationship between God and being? And what is the meaning of forgiveness, faith, piety, or transcendence? - that define the terrain of contemporary philosophy of religion.
