On 'Biblical Critical Theory': @DrChrisWatkin and Neo-Aquinian pastiche.
Queer Atheist comments.
The Reader with any knowledge of philosophy might first look to Ferry and Renaut’s :
The revelation offered by Ferry and Renaut is that the philosophies that came from the The Sixties in France, were defined by ‘hybridity’, not by anything resembling the long scriptural sources, in the chapter index, 114 Chapters long of Mr. Watkin’s polemic. The examination presented by Ferry and Renaut were just two of the many inheritors of actual ‘Critical Theory’.
Watkin practices Christian Solipsism. The notion of ‘Critical Theory’ as practiced by Horkheimer, Adorno, Marcuse, and later by Jurgen Habermas, bears any resemblance to Christopher Watkin’s Neo-Aquinian pastiche ? Although, the book cover offers something resembling ‘Scientific Schematic’: an attempt at speaking in two registers at once, to The Reader?
The Christian Fundamentalist's have, and will latch on to this, as The Answer to their fervent prayers: ‘the Neo-Aquinian pastiche’ resembles something, that strikes the notes of deep thought, in all it’s complexity, but in fact is evocative window dressing.
