Böcker av Jones Irwin

This book explores the constantly shifting affinities and disaffinities between philosophical and religious thought, with an emphasis on the specific strand of thinking which has come to be known as neo-Nietzscheanism. Jones Irwin explores how these neo-Nietzschean thinkers develop an original thinking of the religious, and its relation to philosophy, and how this religious thinking has its sources in Nietzsche''s own complex relationship to religion and theology.

"The Pursuit of Existentialism" explores how Existentialism has survived and how its key themes and concerns remain integral to continental philosophy today.

Michel Foucault refers to 1965-1970 as, in philosophical terms, 'the five brief, impassioned, jubilant, enigmatic years'. This book reinterprets Jacques Derrida's work from this period, most especially in L'Ecriture et la Difference, and argues that a transformation takes place here which has been marginalized in readings of his work.
