In an increasingly precarious global situation, and in light of the postmodern emphasis on difference, efforts to grasp the "whole" as something universally shared by all human beings have fallen short, according to Thomas E.

He engages a range of philosophical thinkers-such as Gadamer, Marcel, Rorty, Foucault, Levinas, Derrida, and Habermas-and brings them into conversation with contemporary theologians and writers in religious studies.
