Gil Anidjar (Columbia University), “On the Christian Question (Marx, Nietzsche, Freud)”, Monday 28th October 2013
A public lecture hosted by the London Graduate School:
“On the Christian Question (Marx, Nietzsche, Freud)”
Gil Anidjar (Columbia University)
6-8PM on Monday, October 28th
Of all the infamous questions Europe has raised for itself, if not for the other, the Christian question has yet to gain adequate notoriety. It is as if age-old hesitations (are Jews a nation or a religion? What does woman want?) and other enduring puzzles (the Eastern question, more recently the Muslim question) had only partly — or distortedly — fulfilled their mirroring function. For who exactly has been doing the asking? Do we know what the Christian want? Is Christianity a religion, a religion just like any other? Did these “masters of suspicion” (in Paul Ricoeur’s phrase) and their followers answer the Christian question? Did they even ask it?
To be held at the Swedenborg Hall, 20-21 Bloomsbury Way, London WC1A 2TH.
This is a free event, and all are welcome.
