Aidan Nichols: Chalice of God: A Systematic Theology in Outline

Chalice of God: A Systematic Theology in Outline


Description

Over the course of a distinguished theological career, Aidan Nichols has produced an array of masterful contributions to the fields of systematic theology, ecclesiology, theological aesthetics, ecumenism, liturgy, and Scripture. Now, inChalice of God, he attempts to synthesize a lifetime of research, teaching, and scholarly reflection in a book that is both rigorously academic and intensely personal. This is Nichols' theological manifesto for the twenty-first century. Drawing together the insights of high scholasticism, the mid-twentieth-century ressourcement movement, a holistic reading of Scripture typical of the best patristic exegesis, and the liturgical tradition and iconography of both East and West, he presents a sound architecture for contemporary Catholic theology. Chalice of God promises to enrich and challenge those who engage in the enterprise of theology for years to come.

The fate of the "project of autonomy" is considered here in the light of the Greek and the modern "political imaginary," the "pulverization of Marxism-Leninism," and a recent alleged "return of ethics" (Habermas, Rawls, McIntyre, Solzhenitsyn, Havel). In part three, Castoriadis shows how psychoanalysis, like politics, can contribute to the project of individual and collective autonomy and challenges Lacan, Foucault, Derrida, and others in his report on "The State of the Subject Today." This section also presents his most current lines of psychoanalytic research and thought on the "human nonconscious" in the body and on the problem of the psychoanalysis of psychotic subjects, where an alternative coherence on the level of meaning offers a constant challenge to the task of psychoanalytic interpretation. Castoriadis's highly original investigations of the unruly Freak the Mighty pdf place of the imagination in Western philosophy round out the book. He examines how Aristotle's original aporetic discovery and cover-up of the imagination were repeated by Kant, Freud, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty.
