Shadow of Spirit

By illuminating the striking affinity between the most innovative aspects

of postmodern thought and religious or mystical discourse, Shadow of Spirit

challenges the long-established assumption that contemporary western

thought is committed to nihilism.

This collection of essays by internationally recognized scholars from the

humanities and social sciences explores the implications of the fascination with

the ‘sacred’, ‘divine’, or ‘infinite’ which characterizes much contemporary

thought. It shows how these concerns have surfaced in the work of Derrida,

Levinas, Baudrillard, Lyotard, Kristeva, Irigaray and others. Examining the

connection between this postmodern ‘turn’ and the current search for a new

discourse of ethics and politics, it also stresses the contribution made by feminist

thought to this unexpected intellectual direction.
