Why is it important?
Guides the reader through the key points and analyses of the four parts: Part 1, “The Specter of Hegel and the Haunting of Ancient Discourses”, Part 2, “Gloriously Awry: Hegel’s Epic Deviation”, Part 3, “Of Fathers and Sons”, and Part 4, “Eidetic Apocalyptic and its Contemporary Rivals”.
Perspectives
The review illustrates the opinion that O'Regan's book is a major contribution to post-modern studies, illustrating orthodox Christianity’s capability of providing not only a critique of the limits of modernity, but a definitive, plurivocal response to post-modernity.
