dc.description.abstract | The Heideggerian account of the ontotheological constitution of Western
metaphysics has been extremely influential for contemporary philosophy of
religion and for philosophical perspectives on theology and the divine. This
paper introduces and contrasts two central strategies for approaching the
question of the divine in a non- or post-ontotheological manner. The first and
more established approach is that of post-Heideggerian hermeneutics and
deconstruction, inspired by Heidegger’s suggestion of a “theology without the
word ‘being’” and by his later notions of an “ultimate god” and of “divinities”
as one of the four axes of the fourfold (Geviert). Here, the divine is no longer
articulated in terms of the supreme or absolute being, but as one of the
interdependent dimensions of finite and contextual meaningful presence. The
more recent approach introduced by Alain Badiou and Quentin Meillassoux
dissociates itself from the Heideggerian hermeneutics of finitude and adopts
mathematics as its basic ontological model. Rather than focusing on meaning
and sense, Badiou and Meillassoux replace ontotheological metaphysics with
materialist frameworks. With regard to the divine, this approach leads either
to a contemporary version of atheism (Badiou) or to the reintroduction of a
divine entity, but now a merely possible and contingent one (Meillassoux). | fi |
