Synopsis
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 Milbank s 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 world s leading theologians offers a comprehensive treatment of the relation between theology and social theory, all the way from Plato to Deleuze., This is a revised edition of John Milbanks masterpiece, which sketches the outline of a specifically theological social theory. The Times Higher Education Supplement wrote of the first edition that it was "a tour de force of systematic theology.
