Theology and Social Theory: Beyond Secular Reason
In
modern times, the social sciences have sought to explain religion from a
neutral, secular vantage-point. In response, theology has tried to
legitimate itself by building upon social scientific conclusions. In
this acclaimed book, John Milbank suggests that both enterprises are
compromised by the theological and anti-theological assumptions built
into the social sciences themselves. This new edition of "Theology and Social Theory" brings John Milbank's classic work fully into line with his most recent views and is laid out in an easier-to-read format. It features a substantial new preface in which Milbank answers his critics by defending and further elaborating his metahistorical vision.
Provocative and well-argued, this updated classic from one of the world's leading theologians offers a comprehensive treatment of the relation between theology and social theory, all the way from Plato to Deleuze.
