In order to do so, it builds a constructive and coherent thematization of the somewhat obscurely defined and underexplored mystical figure of the abyss as it occurs in Neoplatonic mysticism, German Idealism, and Afro-Caribbean philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central question An Yountae raises is, How do we mediate the mystical abyss of theology\/philosophy and the abyss of socio-political trauma engulfing the colonial subject? What would theopoetics look like in the context where poetics is the means of resistance and survival? This book seeks to answer these questions by examining the abyss as the dialectical process in which the self's dispossession before the encounter with its own finitude is followed by the rediscovery or reconstruction of the self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e An Yountae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Language Initiative\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823273089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Yountae\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Religion at Lebanon Valley College.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Language Initiative","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40201455992947,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_808f977a-0fce-4272-b22c-b9a60356b659.jpg?v=1656165511","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-decolonial-abyss-mysticism-and-cosmopolitics-from-the-ruins-9780823273089","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
