New book review on David Tracy’s Selected Essays

I was invited to review David Tracy’s massive new two-volume Selected Essays for Critical Inquiry. I took the opportunity to reflect on what Tracy’s approach can tell us about the place of academic theology in contemporary intellectual life.

Adam Kotsko is on the faculty of the Shimer Great Books School at North Central College, where he teaches widely in the humanities and social sciences. His research focuses on political theology, continental philosophy, and the history of Christian thought. He is the author, most recently, of Agamben’s Philosophical Trajectory, a comprehensive study of the Italian philosopher that emphasizes how his thought has evolved in response to political events, and What Is Theology? Christian Thought and Contemporary Life, a collection of essays on the perils and promise of modernity’s theological legacy.
