Words Fail
Theology, Poetry, and the Challenge of Representation
Colby Dickinson
"Colby Dickinson provides us with a compelling meditation on the complex relationship between poetry, philosophy, and religion. He not only illuminates Derrida and Agamben's engagement with poetry, but allows poetry to talk back to philosophy - and invites the reader to reconsider what is at stake every time we sit down to write." - Adam Kotsko, Shimer College
There has been much philosophical speculation on the potential failure of language as well as the search for a presentation of the "thing itself" beyond representation. Words Fail pursues the writings of a trio of philosophers-Jacques Derrida, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, and Giorgio Agamben-as prime examples of how modern poetry presents us with a profitable vantage point from which to survey the ongoing struggle of living in a highly fragmented world. Alongside these thinkers, this book looks specifically at the form of spirituality that is given shape by this intersection of poetics and theological-philosophical reflection - all of which offer rich suggestions about our spiritual nature.
Colby Dickinson is Assistant Professor of Theology at Loyola University Chicago.
