Rescuing Rudolf Bultmann (1884-1976) from Heidegger''s shadow,
Nikolaas Cassidy-Deketelaere presents a philosophical reading of his
theology, which reveals his unique phenomenology of love as an event.
By reading Bultmann anew, in light of other continental philosophers''
engagement with Heidegger - from Jaspers and Levinas to Ricoeur and
Falque - this book contends that Bultmann not only builds on but
radically develops and even improves Heidegger''s phenomenology.
Guiding the reader through his argument in a clear and compelling
style, Cassidy-Deketelaere reveals how Bultmann understands the
experience of love as not being limited to an empirical occurrence
but rather having a transcendental scope. With this, his theology
both resolves criticisms of Heidegger''s method and also provides
a new paradigm of human finitude based on love. In a significant
contribution to philosophy, Bultmann shows us that love is the central
experience of human existence, one that transforms the being of
Dasein, despite Heidegger never allowing for it.
