Political Theology of Schelling

"Intervening in contemporary debates concerning the post-secular, the return of religion and political theology, Das shows that religion, in an essential sense, can open up infinitude from the heart of finitude to an irreducible outside of the profane order of worldly hegemonies. Religion here assumes a negative political theology of exception without sovereign power. Schelling's late political theology - far from being a conservative relic of the nineteenth century, as critics have sometimes suggested - opens up avenues for thinking our common being-together and for forming a political theology worthy of the new millennium."--Page [4] of cover.
