Apocalyptic Political Theology: Hegel, Taubes and Malabou: summary, description and annotation

Hegels philosophy of religion contains an implicit political theology. When viewed in connection with his wider work on subjectivity, history and politics, this political theology is a resource for apocalyptic thinking. In a world of climate change, inequality, oppressive gender roles and racism, Hegel can be used to theorise the hope found in the end of that world.
Histories of apocalyptic thinking draw a line connecting the medieval prophet Joachim of Fiore and Marx. This line passes through Hegel, who transforms the relationship between philosophy and theology by philosophically employing theological concepts to critique the world. Jacob Taubes provides an example of this Hegelian political theology, weaving Christianity, Judaism and philosophy to develop an apocalypticism that is not invested in the world. Taubes awaits the end of the world knowing that apocalyptic destruction is also a form of creation. Catherine Malabou discusses this relationship between destruction and creation in terms of plasticity. Using plasticity to reformulate apocalypticism allows for a form of apocalyptic thinking that is immanent and materialist.
Together Hegel, Taubes and Malabou provide the resources for thinking about why the world should end. The resulting apocalyptic pessimism is not passive, but requires an active refusal of the world.

Apocalyptic Political Theology Bloomsbury Political Theologies Series edited - photo 1

Apocalyptic Political Theology
Bloomsbury Political Theologies

Series edited by Ward Blanton (University of Kent), Arthur Bradley (Lancaster University), Michael Dillon (Lancaster University) and Yvonne Sherwood (University of Kent)

This book series explores the past, present and future of political theology. Taking its cue from the groundbreaking work of such figures as Derrida, Agamben, Badiou and iek, it seeks to provide a forum for new research on the theologicopolitical nexus including cutting-edge monographs, edited collections and translations of classic works. By privileging creative, interdisciplinary and experimental work that resists easy categorization, this series not only re-assets the timeliness of political theology in our epoch but also seeks to extend political theological reflection into new territory: law, economics, finance, technology, media, film and art. In Bloomsbury Political Theologies, we seek to re-invent the ancient problem of political theology for the twenty-first century.

For Hannah

Contents

I am grateful to Paul Murray, Marcus Pound, Gerard Loughlin and the Centre for Catholic Studies at Durham University for their support and guidance and to Christopher Insole and Graham Ward for their feedback on early versions of this work. During this time I was exceedingly fortunate to have a supportive academic community that challenged me to think about this project from a variety of perspectives, including Roberto Alejandro, Tina Beattie, Andrew Brower Latz, Josh Furnal, Marika Rose and Susan Royal. I benefited from an opportunity to present my apocalyptic reading of Malabou at an interdisciplinary workshop at the University of Edinburgh. I am thankful to Michael ORourke for this opportunity and to Catherine Malabou for her remarks.

Liza Thompson was kind enough to listen to my ideas and encourage me to submit a proposal to Bloomsbury, and Frankie Mace patiently answered my endless questions. The conversations at the annual meetings of the International Network for Experimental Philosophy and Theology have been vital to further developing this project. I am particularly thankful for Jayne Svenungssons willingness to engage in lengthy discussions of the nature of political theology and apocalypticism. At key moments in the development of the first and last chapters, Amaryah Armstrong, Daniel Colucciello Barber and Alex Dubilet were generous enough to engage in conversation, provide feedback or share their own work.

The last stage of preparing this book coincided with taking up a position at the University of Chichester. The many discussions I have had with colleagues there have provided great opportunities to think about the connections between religion, politics and philosophy. I am especially grateful to Ruth Mantin, Benjamin Noys, Stephen Roberts and Graeme Smith. I also benefited from a University of Chichester Research Development Award that provided the time to finish writing.

Though academia can sometimes feel like a solitary pursuit, one of its great joys is forging relationships with people who push you in profound ways and shape the way you think. Though they do not always share my conclusions, whatever is of value in the following work has been shaped by Michael ONeill Burns, Mark Mason, Ulrich Schmiedel, Anthony Paul Smith and Hannah Strmmen. Words cannot express how much their friendship and support has meant over the years of trying to figure out what it means to think the end of the world.

Finally, I am grateful to my parents, who have always encouraged my desire to pursue my love of philosophy, and to my wife, Hannah, who has been my partner in this research, as in everything.
