The speculative question of eternal life became a way to address the meaning of 'a good life' in a period when millions of lives were lost to war, camps and prisons. This book shows how theology was related to central political concepts and ideas of the era, revealing how the question of immortality pursued by Rosenzweig, Barth and Goldberg became a way to resist the reduction of life to race, blood and soil. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By situating the exact political consequences of theological and metaphysical theories of immortality and eternal life, Bjk's discussion of Rosenzweig, Barth and Goldberg confronts the perennial question on the relation between life and death and exposes the important connections between political theology and philosophical posthumanism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M蚌ten Bjk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350228265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350228269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.58d","brand":"M蚌ten Bjk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075843322111,"sku":"9781350228269","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bc80a08-4536-4898-903b-8c006296f779.jpg?v=1685461768","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-immortality-in-mrten-bjrk-9781350228269","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
