The Diremption of Meaning

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Examining work by Rowan Williams, this essay explores what he often refers to as the ‘difficulty’ of writing theology. The difficulty of theology lies in engaging the ruse of having ultimate answers to ultimate questions. The stakes are high: ‘God‐talk’ must concern itself with truth, with reality.

City of God and the Duty of Just Memory

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract In a recent essay, Richard Miller claims that Augustine presumes a duty to remember justly in his City of God. However, Miller's brief reference to a presumed duty of “just memory” does not fully explain how Augustine conceptualizes this duty or how it relates to his theological concerns.

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract While self‐deception has long been a topic of interest in psychology and analytic philosophy—and increasingly in the academic study of theology and religion—direct engagement with Augustine on self‐deception remains underexplored in contemporary scholarship.

Human Destiny and the Natural Law in St Maximus the Confessor: A Contribution to Orthodox Christian Humanism

Jacques Maritain, Maurice Blondel, and the Ends of Art

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article reconsiders Jacques Maritain's philosophical poetics by situating it within his longstanding debate with Maurice Blondel over the nature and unity of intellect. I argue that Maritain's influential defence of artistic autonomy, first articulated in Art et scolastique (1920), is ultimately unsound.

‘Liberation’ of ‘Younger Brothers’ or Genocide of Subhumans? Genocidal Discourses on Ukrainians in Putin's Regime

open access: yesNations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores Russia's genocidal discourses on Ukrainians, focusing on the predominant narrative that frames cultural genocide as the ‘liberation’ of Ukrainians through the erasure of their cultural identity. Existing literature tends to overlook this form of genocidal discourse, which diverges from typical ‘othering’ by instead ...
