Modern thinkers have often declared the end or even the death of the subject & have been searching for new ways of being a self Indeed many contemporary scholars regard this search as one of the most significant effects of the general crisis of secularity Post-Subjectivity is a contribution to that search conducted with a renewed attention to the centrality of religion in a pluralistic & global context This volume of essays guides the reader through but also beyond the crises of modernity & postmodernity toward an attempt to resurrect the subject in new forms The volume resonates with voices from across the humanistic disciplines the theological turn in recent phenomenology new directions in Christian & Jewish theology & reappraisals of figures in the history of philosophy psychoanalysis & the study of sexuality-all are represented in an attempt to rethink from the beginning what it is to be a self
