“An exceptional collection that makes a major contribution to the philosophy of religion.”
“To Die of Not Writing is a genuinely excellent tribute to one of the world’s leading philosophers and theologians. . . . Though [this] will not be the last such Festschrift, or loving struggle, it sets a high bar for all that will follow.”
“A deeply philosophical and existential exploration of meaning, resistance, and becoming.”
“This extraordinary book, a dynamic collection of voices, is a profound and inspiring tribute to the visionary thought of Emmanuel Falque.”
“Although Falque speaks of the spread body (corps épandu), it is his mind that spreads itself out (esprit épandu), prodigiously so. In this fitting tribute to the singular Falque, his family, friends, and students engage in the breadth of his thought and extend it even further, demonstrating its fecundity and catholicity. This rich collection is an expression of gratitude to Falque’s liberality.”
“This volume’s contributors traverse Falque’s corpus in a shared effort to cross the Rubicon separating philosophy from theology and struggle (in loving fashion) toward a transfiguration of the meaning of catholicity in the twenty-first century. The complementarity of the chapters ensures that, like the angel and Jacob wrestling on the shores of the Jabbok, they succeed by blessing each other in turn.”
“This tribute to Emmanuel Falque most fittingly expresses the strength of a shared recognition—the recognition of a thinker whose all-consuming desire for truth has communicated a share of this desire to many. To Die of Not Writing: Doing Philosophy of Religion with Emmanuel Falque testifies to an essential thinker, not only by the breadth of interest he inspires, but also by the depth of insight attained—a rich contribution to the philosophy of religion.”
