Theopolitics: Ontological Violence

Nearing the end of our series on Milbank's "Theology and Social Theory", we turn to the culmination of the genealogical excavation of modernity, securalism and liberalism. From the aporias of Liberalism culminating in Nihilist Ontology, a critical look is given to Heidegger, Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault, Lyotard and to the grand-daddy of them all, Friedrich Nietzsche. The Ontology of Violence throughout is juxtaposed with the uniquely Christian Ontology of Peace proposed by Milbank through an Augustinian lens.
