Book Details
Table of Contents
Preface: A different kind of meditation
Part I: Introductory
A polemical clearing of the ground : Harris, Hitchens and Dawkins' lack of scruple : the unimpressive face of atheism (and what-with the help of its other face-we can learn from it)
Why we need to rethink religion
Part II: The outside
Shifting focus from the "outsider" to the "outside"
Thought from (and of) the outside : Lawrence, Levinas and Derrida : at the firing line and into the unknown
Thought from (and of) the outside : Abraham and Isaac : hospitality, the messianic turn and the religious suspension of the ethical (Derrida, Kierkegaard, Leavis, Conrad, Agamben and others)
Balancing as we go : slave or noble, Abrahamic or Hellenic?
Conclusion : "Driv[ing] on to the edge of the unknown and beyond".
