Pauline Ugliness: Jacob Taubes and the Turn to Paul by Ole Jakob L?land (English

Description: Pauline Ugliness by Ole Jakob LØland Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Jacob Taubes radically changed our conceptions of Paul the apostle. Loland shows how we can approach Pauls letters with the distinctive perspective of this Jewish rabbi steeped in continental philosophy. The book emphasizes Pauls Jewishness as well as the political explosiveness of the apostles revolutionary doctrine of the cross, which the author terms Pauline Ugliness. Publisher Description In recent decades Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, and Slavoj Zizek have shown the centrality of Paul to western political and philosophical thought and made the Apostle a central figure in left-wing discourses far removed from traditional theological circles. Yet the recovery of Paul beyond Christian theology owes a great deal to the writings of the Jewish rabbi and philosopher Jacob Taubes (1923-1987). Pauline Ugliness shows how Paul became an effective tool for Taubes to position himself within European philosophical debates of the twentieth century. Drawing on Nietzsches polemical readings of the ancient apostle as well as Freuds psychoanalysis, Taubes developed an imaginative and distinct account of political theology in confrontations with Carl Schmitt, Theodor Adorno, Hans Blumenberg, and others. In a powerful reconsideration of the apostle, Taubes contested the conventional understanding of Paul as the first Christian who broke definitively with Judaism and drained Christianity of its political potential. As a Jewish rabbi steeped in a philosophical tradition marked by European Christianity, Taubes was, on the contrary, able to emphasize Pauls Jewishness as well as the political explosiveness of his revolutionary doctrine of the cross.This book establishes Taubess account of Paul as a turning point in the development of political theology. Loland shows how Taubes identified the Pauline movement as the birth of a politics of ugliness, the invention of a revolutionary criticism of the beautiful culture of the powerful that sides instead with the oppressed.
