Heidegger’s Black Notebooks and the Future of Theology
This book probes the relationship between Martin Heidegger and theology in light of the discovery of his Black Notebooks, which reveal that his privately held Antisemitism and anti-Christian sentiments were profoundly intertwined with his philosophical ideas. Heidegger himself was deeply influenced by both Catholic and Protestant theology. This prompts the question as to what extent Christian anti-Jewish motifs shaped Heidegger’s own thinking in the first place. A second question concerns modern theology’s intellectual indebtedness to Heidegger. In this volume, an array of renowned Heidegger scholars – both philosophers and theologians –investigate Heidegger’s animosity toward the biblical legacy in both its Jewish and Christian interpretations, and what it means for the future task and identity of theology.
Written Culture in a Colonial Context
Exploring the extent to which the control over the materiality of writing has shaped the numerous and complex processes of cultural exchange from the 16th century onwards, this book introduces the specifities of written culture anchored in colonial contexts.
Ontología analéptica
Luego del políptico de La comunidad de los espectros, un nuevo comienzo se torna necesario. Un giro en el filosofar atento al espesor metafísico de la subversión epocal en curso en todo el orbe. Esa misma crisis revela ahora como insuficientes los métodos más osados de las Humanidades del siglo XX. Un punto de partida: el relato acerca de un supuesto proceso judicial por vampirismo acaecido en un remoto cantón de Hungría a principios del siglo XVIII. Con el discurrir de las hipótesis aquí propuestas, las relaciones con la licantropía se volverán centrales y ambos fenómenos deberán ser objeto de una minuciosa ultra-historia que acompaña al lector hasta los tiempos paleolíticos ...
Burning Down the House
Burning Down the House explores the political, economic and cultural landscape of 21st-century Latin America through comics. It examines works from Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay, Perú, Colombia, México and Spain, and the resurgence of comics in recent decades spurred by the ubiquity of the Internet and reminiscent of the complex political experiences and realities of the region. The volume analyses experimentations in themes and formats and how Latin American comics have become deeply plural in its inspirations, subjects, drawing styles and political concerns while also underlining the hybrid and diverse cultures they represent. It examines the representative and historical im...
H.P. Lovecraft
Philosophy has always sought to wrench truth away from myths. But myth is not the narrative of origins, the path philosophy took from Plato to Schelling; myth is the opposite, the truth that narrates the end of humanity and its disproportion with respect to the cosmos. This is why Lovecraft is "the most brilliant mythographer of the twentieth century". Rereading his oeuvre, philosophy will learn that true myth is the opposite of history, since it is summoned to enumerate the natural powers of the cosmos. At the same time, philosophy will learn that myth cannot glorify portentuous divinities since it reveals a transfinite universe become multiverse. In this key work of contemporary philosophy, the author shows that thought is not born of wonder but of horror: humanity's assumption of its non-place in the world. - Emanuele Coccia

Does Social Media Have Limits?
This book is a vibrant investigation on a deeply human subconscious desire: the desire for omnipresence, or in a nutshell, the desire to be here, there, and everywhere at the same time. After all, why is it not enough just to be in the offline ordinariness of the here and now? To answer this question, Camila Mozzini-Alister does the crossing of two seemingly distant universes: mediation and meditation. Throughout a vigorous archaeology of the relationship between screen and mind allied with an engaging first-person narrative, the author raises awareness of the risks of becoming addicted to social media and obsessed by meditation. This brings forth a vital question: what are the limits for the desire to be more than a body?
Principios de espectrología
"Son inmateriales pero penetran todas las cosas. No forman parte del mundo censado y catastral que se disputan la física, la biología y la ontología. Sin embargo, aquello que somos y cuanto hacemos individualmente y colectivamente se torna posible gracias a su presencia. Son la emergencia de una exterioridad cósmica que interrumpe la continuidad metafísica que tenemos la ilusión de que define el universo en el cual vivimos. Sobre todo, representan la eflorescencia difusa e infrahumana del yo. Los espectros son la forma suprema de la subjetividad más allá de la vida y de la corporeidad, algo más que la muerte. Constituyen la consistencia primaria de la conciencia, la realidad objetiv...
Living Law
"In his 1935 treatise on divine sovereignty, the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber introduced the idea of an 'anarchic soul of theocracy.' A decade before, the German jurist Carl Schmitt had coined the term 'political theology' in order to designate the Christian theological foundations of modern sovereignty and legal order. In a specular and opposite gesture, Buber argued that the covenant at Sinai established YHWH as the King of the Israelites and simultaneously promulgated the principle that no human being could become sovereign over this people. In so doing, Buber offered an interpretation of Jewish theocracy that is both republican and anarchic. Republican because, by pivoting on the idea that democracy is a function of a people's fidelity to a prophetic higher law, theocracy displaces the central role of the human sovereign. Anarchic because this divine law is saturated with the messianic aim to put an end to relations of domination between peoples. In this book I show that this republican and anarchic articulation of the discourse of political theology characterises the development of Jewish political theology in the 20th century from Hermann Cohen to Hannah Arendt"--
