Love’s Entanglement

Theology

“Anthony Bartlett offers a highly original comparison between René Girard and Martin Heidegger. Counterposing the ‘relationship with the other’ and the ‘relationship with being,’ he shows how the relationship of generative violence that constitutes the world as a world will always already have covered over the ‘relationality of love’ which alone can save the world in times of peril. This theological reading of Girard is therefore also a great lesson in hope.”
