Saint Paul et la philosophie. Crise du multiculturalisme et universel chrétien

Abstract

The long history of the philosophical reception of the Pauline corpus has recently been enriched by contributions made by Giogio Agamben, Alain Badiou, Bernard Sichere and Slavoj Zizek. After having mentioned the trigger effect made by an article by Stanislas Breton, this article takes up the reading of Paul made by these four philosophers. The renewed interest for Pauline literature is then interpreted in the light of the crisis of the universal in the context of cultural and religious pluralism. The article ends with a reflexion of a theological nature on the meaning of these differing philosophical undertakings.
