Congratulations to Adrian Pabst, one of our Telos editorial associates, on the publication of his new book, Metaphysics: The Creation of Hierarchy, published by Eerdmans with the Centre of Theology and Philosophy, as part of their Interventions series.
"This book does nothing less than to set new standards in combining philosophical with political theology. Pabst's argument about rationality has the potential to change debates in philosophy, politics, and religion." (from the foreword by John Milbank)
This comprehensive and detailed study of individuation reveals the theological nature of metaphysics. Adrian Pabst argues that ancient and modern conceptions of "being"—or individual substance—fail to account for the ontological relations that bind beings to each other and to God, their source. On the basis of a genealogical account of rival theories of creation and individuation from Plato to "postmodernism," Pabst proposes that the Christian Neo-Platonic fusion of biblical revelation with Greco-Roman philosophy fulfills and surpasses all other ontologies and conceptions of individuality.

Eva Geulen's "Passion in Prose" appears in Telos 158 (Spring 2012). Read the full version online at the TELOS Online website, or purchase a print copy of the issue here.
The article compares and contrasts Odo Marquard's and Hans Blumenberg's views on skepticism and its relationship to literature. Whereas Marquard's skepticism can perceive literature only as "exile of serenity," Blumenberg's skeptical attitude toward skepticism leads to a very different notion of literature and a different exegetical praxis. The latter can be observed in Blumenberg's volume on Matthäuspassion.
