In this new translation, Laruelle offers a serious and rigorous
challenge to contemporary theological thought, calling into question
the dominant understanding of the relation between Christ, theology,
and philosophy, not only from a theoretical, but also political
perspective.
He achieves this through an inversion of St Paul's reading of Christ,
through which the ground for Christianity shifts. It is no longer the
'event' of the resurrection, as philosophical and theological
operation (Badiou's St Paul), so much as the Risen Himself that forms
the starting point for a non-philosophical confession. Between the
Greek and the Jew, Laruelle places the Gnostic-Christ in order to
disrupt and overturn such theologico-philosophical interpretations of
the resurrection and set the Risen within the radical immanence of
Man-in-Person.
Forming the basis for a non-Christianity, _Clandestine Theology_
offers a more radical deconstruction of Christianity, resting upon the
last identity of Man and the humanity of Christ as opposed to endless
deferral or difference (Nancy) or the universalising economy of Ideas
and Events (Badiou).
