%T Caputo in a Nutshell: Two Very Introductory (and Slightly Critical) Lectures
%A Mark MANOLOPOULOS
%J Postmodern Openings
%D 2013
%I Lumen
%X Originally presented at Monash University, the two lectures offer a very accessible introduction to a number of the major aspects of the work of John D. Caputo, perhaps/probably the most original and consequential postmodern philosopher of religion. The first lecture contextualizes the place of Caputo¡¯s thinking, contrasts his contribution to Mark C. Taylor¡¯s ¡°a/theology¡±, and examines Caputo¡¯s postmodern figuration of the ¡°Kingdom of God¡±. The second lecture focuses on Caputo¡¯s philosophico-theological rendering of four key Derridean themes: justice, forgiveness, the gift, and hospitality. Throughout the text, certain critical issues are raised, though the overall appraisal is one of affirmation and admiration.
