The Emmanuel Falque Reader cover

The first volume to bring together the essential writings of philosopher-theologian, Emmanuel Falque, showcasing his breadth of interest from medieval philosophy to philosophy of religion, phenomenology and philosophical theology.

Emmanuel Falque is one of the foremost philosophers working in the continental philosophy of religion today. This is the first English-language anthology to bring together extracts from Falque’s major works, key essays and even some previously unpublished material. Spanning his entire career to date, The Emmanuel Falque Reader is organised thematically and showcases the vast array of Falque’s interests, from his early work on medieval philosophy to his methodology, anthropology and Christian phenomenology. It also includes an Editor’s Introduction, which situates Falque within phenomenology’s so-called ‘theological turn’ and provides a comprehensive overview of his philosophy. Falque's thinking urges more careful consideration of human finitude, atheism in a secular age, and the interaction between philosophy and theology. Featuring a foreword by esteemed scholar Kevin Hart, this essential collection explores the new directions in which Falque is taking continental philosophy of religion.

This Reader is a very welcome sampler of Emmanuel's major works in medieval and contemporary continental philosophy. It marks the timely entry to the English-speaking world of another central figure in the theological turn in phenomenology. * Richard Kearney, Seelig Chair of Philosophy, Boston College, USA, author of Touch and Radical Hospitality *
Emmanuel Falque is one of the most prolific and enthusiastic phenomenologists in the most recent generation of French philosophers and theologians. This collection includes representative selections from across his extensive oeuvre, thus providing an excellent introduction to the work of this important contemporary thinker. * Christina M. Gschwandtner, Professor of Philosophy, Fordham University, New York, USA *
