A Survival Guide for Heretics

“It is lamentably rare to see radical theology applied within actually-existing Christianity. There is a critical gap between sophisticated theory and lived practice, though in recent years this gap is beginning to close. This book is part of that closure, and Van Voorhis is working in the vanguard of those applying this defiant theology within a community. Heresies can be antidotes or poisons, but, of course, they must always be defiant.”

Being Possible

Philosophy

“In an ambitiously wide-ranging analysis, Dozeman pairs an original exposition of Heidegger and Marx with the fascinating debate between Žižek and Peterson. The latter has drawn both crowds and ire in recent years, demonstrating the appeal of a reactionary Jungianism dressed up for social media consumption. The threat of psychoanalysis against any maps of meaning is its announcement of, as Dozeman writes, 'subjective destitution, where one recognizes reality in all its utter contingency and stupidity.' And as philosophers compete ever more against cynicism and charlatans, the delineations Dozeman explores are as important as ever--archetypes or contingency, neoliberalism or revolution, self-help or destitution, and, to say it all, lobsters or Dasein.”

Enough Is Enough

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The climate crisis is the most important event since the dawn of agriculture, but capitalism's canopy of idols, like Gross Domestic Product and growth, proscribe practically all pathways for rapid decarbonization. Blending liberation theology, ecosocialism, and emerging arguments for degrowth, Matthew Bernico and Dean Dettloff develop a compelling analysis of the imaginary relationships curating our reflexive devotion to Mammon and Moloch.”
