Program Unit Online Meeting 2024

Theology and Continental Philosophy Unit

Call for Proposals

It has been 20 years since the original publication of Gil Anidjar’s The Jew, The Arab: A History of the Enemy. We invite proposals which consider the legacy of the book’s argument as it relates to the themes of political theology, enmity, and the construction of inimical racial difference via religious difference today.

Statement of Purpose

This Unit seeks to further discussions at the intersection of post-Kantian philosophy in its various permutations with historical and contemporary theological reflection. While we remain centered on continental European thought (even and especially beyond the borders of the continent) on the philosophical side, the term “theology” in our parlance extends to critical reflection on a range of religions worldwide, and we are particularly interested to expand our offerings in Judaism, Islam, and marginalized traditions (such as witchcraft) in coming years. Contact the Program Unit Chairs if you seek further information on the Unit’s activities.
