Ebook: The End of Theology

Originally published in 1979 under a different title, the book shows how present day postmodernist themes in theology and the philosophy of religion derive from the critique of classical "correspondence" theories of language, crafted first by Heidegger and later by Derrida in response to logical positivism and analytical philosophy. The book is valuable not only as a key document for researchers interested in the history of postmodernism, but also as a general introduction to the subject of religious postmodernism for readers not yet acquainted with more recent texts and translations.
