Summary

Crockett develops a constructive radical theology from the philosophy of Kant. ReadingThe Critique of Judgmentback intoThe Critique of Pure Reason,Crockett draws upon the insights of such continental philosophers as Heidegger, Derrida, Lyotard and Deleuze. This book shows how existential notions of self, time and imagination are interrelated in Kantian thinking, and demonstrates their importance for theology. An original theology of the sublime emerges as a connection is made between the Kantian sublime of the Third Critique and the transcendental imagination of the First Critique.
