• The End
  on Feb 5, 2016
  This is just a brief note to say that I'm no longer writing new posts here, though I'm planning to leaving the blog up for the foreseeable future. I still blog occasionally over at An und für sich, and you can read all of my academic publicatio...
• Guest blogging
  on May 22, 2013
  I have a new blogpost up over at Homebrewed Christianity, in which I talk about some recent fuss over whether the emerging church/radical theology is racist and sexist. Go check it out.
• Art, pyschoanalysis and humour
  on Jul 6, 2012 in Psychoanalysis Humour Art
  More Milbank eventually, I promise! But in the meantime, Becky Hunter and I are doing an online residency for the Philadelphia arts blog concept plus object. We're talking about art, psychoanalysis and humour, and why some of the people who first saw...
• Kant doesn't care if you're happy
  on Jun 22, 2012
  We've talked before about Kant's categorical imperative and his idea of duty. One of the reasons that he was so radical is that he disagreed with one of the central principles of classical philosophy: that there's a link between happiness and ethics:...
• Which came first, the individual or the social?
  on Jun 1, 2012 in Sociology Milbank
  We're settling into a rhythm now: Milbank talks about the next historical movement of 'secular' thought, we think, ah, now we're really getting to the birth of secularism, and he says haha, no, actually they're totally dependent on theology still. So...
• He's got the whole world in his (invisible) hands
  on May 17, 2012 in Providence Milbank Politics Ethics
  Chapter 2 of Theology and Social Theory is titled 'Political Economy as Theodicy and Agonistics'. Having dealt with some of the earliest 'political' thinkers – people like Hobbes, Locke, and Machiavelli – Milbank moves on to the thinker...
• Once, there was no secular
  on May 10, 2012 in Trinity Milbank Hermeneutics Politics
  Say what you like about Milbank, that's a killer opening line (and possibly an allusion to John 1, so make of that what you will). Chapter 1 of Theology and Social Theory argues that the idea of a 'secular' political space, where everyone lays aside...
• Theology Wins
  on May 9, 2012 in Milbank
  Theology and Social Theory is probably one of the most important theological texts of the last 50 years or so. It established John Milbank as one of the big names in theology, and it's basically the founding text of the Radical Orthodoxy movement, wh...
• A book review wot I wrote
  on Apr 30, 2012 in Zizek Politics
  Ages ago, I wrote a review of Matthew Sharpe and Geoff Boucher's book 'Žižek and Politics: A Critical Introduction'. The review has finally been published in Political Theology, and you can read it here.
• Chesterton, inevitability, and the NHS
  on Mar 19, 2012 in Chesterton Politics History
  In his book on Eugenics (chill out, he thinks it's a Bad Thing, albeit for some slightly weird reasons), G K Chesterton, never a modest man, has a crack at identifying the overarching themes of different eras. The Middle Ages, was all about 'building...
