      title = {Re-treating Religion : Deconstructing Christianity with  Jean-Luc Nancy /},
      abstract = {One of the most complicated and ambiguous tendencies in  contemporary western societies is the phenomenon referred  to as the "turn to religion." In philosophy, one of the  most original thinkers critically questioning this "turn"  is Jean-Luc Nancy. Re-treating Religion is the first volume  to analyze his long-term project "The Deconstruction of  Christianity," especially his major statement of it in  Dis-Enclosure. Nancy conceives monotheistic religion and  secularization not as opposite worldviews that succeed each  other in time but rather as springing from the same  history. This history consists in a paradoxical tendency to  contest one's own foundations-whether God, truth, origin,  humanity, or rationality-as well as to found itself on the  void of this contestation. Nancy calls this unique  combination of self-contestation and self-foundation the  "self-deconstruction" of the Western world. The book  includes discussion with Nancy himself, who contributes a  substantial "Preamble" and a concluding dialogue with the  volume editors. The contributions follow Nancy in tracing  the complexities of Western culture back to the persistent  legacy of monotheism, in order to illuminate the tensions  and uncertainties we face in the twenty-first century.},
