| Summary: | In 2013, the first reader of Jean-Luc Marions works appeared, Jean-Luc Marion: The Essential Writings, meticulously edited by his friend and colleague Kevin Hart. Yet, if the appearance of volume marked Marions status as Frances most influential living philosopher, Harts Kingdoms of God marks the beginning of a systematic theology long in the making. In addition to serving as the prologemenon to his planned systematics, the work also serves to differentiate Harts phenomenological theology from Marions phenomenology of revelation and doctrine of revelation through the rendering of what Hart calls the basilaic reduction, on the basis of which Hart builds a twofold theological criticism of Marion. He first criticizes Marions claim that revelation can gain phenomenological status like ordinary phenomena, and second contests the notion that revelation is always characterized by a saturation that bedazzles its receiver. I explore each thinkers approach to the relationship between philosophy and theology, using their engagements with the works of Jacques Derrida and Karl Barth as points of comparison in order to contextualize Harts theological criticisms of Marion. I conclude by arguing that Harts, rather than Marions, approach to the relationship between philosophy and theology corresponds to the core concerns of the second generation of the theological turn of French phenomenology. |
