Talk:Radical orthodoxy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

alex -- Whoever wrote this clearly hasn't read enough! Radical Orthodoxy has a great deal of engagement with sciences and very much with the arts. Graham Ward has written extensively on cinema!

simon -- The article is almost entirely unreferenced. It fails to engage with criticisms of RO. It makes inaccurate generalisations (it is, for example, simply untrue that 'Catholic theologies are usually subsequent to liturgical practices'. There is a great deal of pluralism within Catholic theology regarding the proper relationship between liturgy and academic theology). The tone is not that of a neutral point of view; we are told that RO 'sets its face against barbarism in politics, in the arts and especially in the churches', and we learn that 'Claims that Radical Orthodoxy is unintelligible can often be interpreted as unwillingness to undergo [re-education in French theology and philosophy]'. It seems not to occur to the author that prima facie obscurity on the part of some contemporary Francophone philosophers might be a product of their lack of conceptual precision, rather than of the chauvinism of their readers.

alex -- is that the simon author of Philosophy, God and Motion? Anyway, I'll try and re-write this whole section and get someone (eg Milbank or Conor Cunningham) to look over it and check it for accuracy. Good times.

Shouldn't this go under "Radical Orthodoxy" with both words capitalized? Orpheus42 21:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
