The Faith of the Faithless: Experiments in Political Theology
Critchley's academic work among would-be anarchists and postcolonialists at the University of Essex and the New School responds to a gauchiste Left consumed with a ressentiment toward liberal democracy that he partly shares. His entanglements in that idiom mar this rich if loopy survey of efforts to bridge the abysses separating Western religion from philosophy, and both from politics. —Jim Sleeper
