After listening to some John D. Caputo lectures on this book and around issues of negative and radical theology in general, I’m quite looking forward to getting stuck into this theology vs materialism battle in the next few days. According to Caputo, Zizek’s use of Meister Eckhart is a bit shady as he never quotes from primary sources, but I’m looking forward to seeing what he does like from Eckhart, especially as my run-ins with Eckhart a few years ago left me with my view of Christianity totally blown apart. This was reinforced by Caputo’s Mystical Element in Heidegger’s Thought was one of the first secondary sources on Heidegger I read and probably one of the best written.
