Indiana University Press is pleased to announce the recent publication of:
God and the Other: Ethics and Politics after the Theological Turn
By: J. Aaron Simmons
The theological turn in French phenomenology has been of great interest to scholars working in contemporary continental thought, but according to J. Aaron Simmons, not enough has been done to bring these debates into conversation with more mainstream philosophy. Building on the work of Kierkegaard, Levinas, Marion, and Derrida, among others, Simmons suggests how continental philosophy of religion can intersect with political philosophy, environmental philosophy, and theories of knowledge. By productively engaging philosophical “God-talk,” Simmons proposes a robust model of postmodern religious belief and ethical existence.
"J. Aaron Simmons has firm command not only of recent work on Levinas and Kierkegaard, but also of a wide range of alternatives in analytic philosophy of religion and political philosophy. More than an exercise in analytic-continental bridge building, Simmons moves continental ethics forward and makes it politically worthwhile." —John Davenport, Fordham University
In addition to being a commited scholar, he is also an amazing father to our son, and for that I am truly blessed!
Congratulations! :)
