Arthur Willemse explains Agamben's move beyond Derrida by way of his critical intervention in the Aristotelian concept of potentiality and the ensuing transformation of the role of theology and theist assumptions within philosophy. Willemse argues that it is not the case that Agamben announces the redundancy of theology, but instead he revitalizes it by changing its focus from the realm of the sacred toward the realm of the profane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Willemse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498544118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498544115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Arthur Willemse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064890913023,"sku":"9781498544115","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aefe0876-1f34-44e1-8866-7cc94d6a0f2f.jpg?v=1685398186","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-motif-of-the-messianic-arthur-willemse-9781498544115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
