Article: The Judgment of God and the Immeasurable: Political Theology and Organizations of Power

An exercise in comparative political theology: Anthony Paul Smith (DePaul University), "The Judgment of God and the Immeasurable: Political Theology and Organizations of Power" ("Political Theology", 12 [1], 2011: pp. 69-86).

Quote: "This article considers how political theologies understand and organize power ...: liberal political theology ...; conservative political theology ...; and political anti-theology ... It ends by way of a speculative account of a political non-theology ... that makes each of these political theologies relative to the immeasurable itself and thus turns them into simple material that may be used to construct relative different organizations of power with greater situational efficacies."

Public lectures: Politics, Religion and Theology

The Institute for Philosophy & Religion at Boston University is running a 2011-12 Lecture Series on "Politics, Religion and Theology".

Quote: "This ... series will explore ... the specific notions of civil religion (in the broadest sense from Rousseau to Tocqueville to Robert Bellah) and political theology (in a comparative way, as it has been reflected especially in political thinkers whose work has been influenced by the three monotheistic traditions of Islam, Judaism and Christianity)."

All lectures are free and open to the public.

Quote: "The signifier 'liberation' has become decontextualized (politically, economically, and culturally) in the second and third iterations of U.S. black liberation theology, causing the discourse to become perpetually oriented towards past, not present or future alternative dreams of social transformation and sites of struggle informed by the black Christian radical tradition."

Excerpt: "Here I discuss Habermas's sympathetic approach to the so-called critical political theology, developed by German theologians ... The third part of this presentation takes up Habermas's 'methodological atheism,' ... In this context, I compare Habermas's atheistic standpoint with that of Spinoza in light of their use of a conception of public reason to resolve the conflict between reason and faith."

Book: Theological Tractates

Available in English for the first time: Erik Peterson, "Theological Tractates", ed./trans. Michael J. Hollerich (Stanford University Press, October 2011).

Quote: "The essays in Theological Tractates were published between 1925 and 1937 ... Among them is Peterson's landmark essay on ancient 'political theology,' 'Monotheism as a Political Problem,' which shows how ancient writers - pagans, Jews, and Christians - justified earthly monarchy by its parallel with the monotheistic belief in one divinity in heaven. Peterson asserted that such a political theology was incompatible with Christianity, a thesis that became a reference point for modern political theology."

Quote: "Political theology understands the miracle poorly, for it captures only the inaugural movement of exception; it knows nothing of the social and political conditions it inspires. ... The article works out a conceptual genealogy, tracing the descent of the miracle back from Deleuze and Guattari to Baruch Spinoza and David Hume. Each contributes an element essential for the constitution of miraculation."

It will be attempted throughout this paper to bring conceptual clarification to Assmann’s notion of theologization by relating it to the question of political theology currently taking place [sic] in France and the English-speaking world."

Kyle McGee, an independent scholar who was awarded a J.D. from Villanova University in 2009, is the author of "Demonomics: Leibniz and the antinomy of modern power" ("Radical Philosophy: A Journal of Socialist and Feminist Philosophy", 168, July/August 2011: pp. 33-45).

Excerpt: "Two apparently opposed approaches to power in political philosophy - political theology and biopower - are the contemporary heirs to this critical tradition. Each ... advancing something like a theory of radical democracy on its normative edge. ... Together, however, they compose an antinomy. ... Applying pressure to the antinomy yields an alternative concept of power that belongs to a non-democratic discourse. ... The conclusion restates some key findings that gesture towards a finally non-democratic political philosophy for the present."

The essay ... constructs its international presence as a summons to recognize the extent to which black theology itself is riven by the internal differences which always constitute it in the specific idiom of its local responses to the ubiquity of racism in modernity."

Articles: Emergency Government Within the Bounds of the Constitution: An Introduction to Carl Schmitt, "The Dictatorship of the Reich president according to Article 48 R.V." / Pentecost: Democratic Sovereignty in Carl Schmitt

Just published: A special issue of "Constellations: An International Journal of Critical and Democratic Theory" on "Carl Schmitt's Constitutional Theory" (18 [3], September 2011). It includes the first English translation of Schmitt's "Die Diktatur des Reichspräsidenten nach Art. 48 der Reichsverfassung" ("The Dictatorship of the Reich president according to Art 48 of the Reich constitution": pp. 299-323).

Two articles seem particularly concerned with political theology: Ellen Kennedy (University of Pennsylvania), "Emergency Government Within the Bounds of the Constitution: An Introduction to Carl Schmitt, 'The Dictatorship of the Reich president according to Article 48 R.V.'" (pp. 284-97).

Excerpt: "Germany's first republican constitution belonged to the set of 'liberal-democratic constitutions' that replaced monarchies across Europe after the Great War. What kings and heredity had been for centuries gave way to the principle of democratic sovereignty as self-evident, a belief Carl Schmitt theorized as 'political theology': what God had been to the world, the King had been to the state, and now the people became as the present immanence of meaning."

Anne Norton (University of Pennsylvania), "Pentecost: Democratic Sovereignty in Carl Schmitt (pp. 389-402).

Excerpt: "Dictatorship, like monarchy, affirmed the subjective, the individual will, the individual. Schmitt's debt to Hegel is visible here, as is Hegel's political theology. ... His turn to Donoso Cortés reflects his commitment to 'Roman Catholicism as political form' and a more Catholic political theology. Schmitt's religious imperative has been, ironically, attractive to those Christian evangelicals who, committed to the notion of a personal God in a quite different sense, likewise insist on the primacy of the incarnate form of the divine sovereign."

Quote: "Kierkegaard's philosophy provides us with a radical opening from which to re-think political theology from the position of the single individual to come. The program that Žižek upholds is not adequate for the transformation of society or self because it does not have a religious understanding of the individual. As such, Žižek's position is grounded in despair, not love."
