This study attempts to grasp the continuing contemporary relevance of Hegel's political theology, which the author interprets as a uniquely radical critique of every sort of religious authoritarianism. By relating Milan Kundera's concept of "kitsch" to Hegel's thought, Dr. Shanks shows that Hegel's philosophy has important implications, and that it is still able to serve as a resource and an inspiration in modern times, an age in which "kitsch" is pervasive and damaging.
Read more- Takes as its starting point the notion of 'kitsch' developed by internationally acclaimed Czech novelist Milan Kundera, author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Immortality.
- Situates Hegel in the centre of current theological and political debate, using Hegel's thought to examine the moral problems of kitsch.
- One of the first books to take Hegel seriously as a philosophical theologian: few scholars have done the same. Written by a promising young philosopher of religion, with a growing reputation.
