theology and social theory: beyond secular reason, 2nd edition
john milbank
Synopsis "theology and social theory: beyond secular reason, 2nd edition"
in modern times, the social sciences have sought to explain religion from a neutral, secular vantage-point. in response, theology has tried to legitimate itself by building upon social scientific conclusions. in this acclaimed book, john milbank suggests that both enterprises are compromised by the theological and anti-theological assumptions built into the social sciences themselves. this new edition of theology and social theory brings john milbanks classic work fully into line with his most recent views and is laid out in an easier-to-read format. it features a substantial new preface in which milbank answers his critics by defending and further elaborating his metahistorical vision.provocative and well-argued, this updated classic from one of the worlds leading theologians offers a comprehensive treatment of the relation between theology and social theory, all the way from plato to deleuze.
