Secondly, it focuses on their argument that friendship could serve as ‘a politics beyond community’, asking if friendship is not more easily understood as a sub-set of community or the means to building a community of the like-minded. Thirdly, it comments on the links of community and populism, noting that the populism is a recurring phenomenon and not exclusively rooted in European thought. Lastly, while agreeing that the proposed ethos is welcome, it asks how much it differs from other ideas, notably liberal, universal values that are built on the idea of individual rights, including a belief in tolerance, moderation and respect for political views that differ from one’s own.This is a reply to:Nordin, A.

Eiroa-Orosa’s ‘Love your enemy.’ The latter seeks to explore the self-transcending potential of altruistic behaviour through a dialogical paradigm. It not only initiates fresh discussion on the subject of altruism, but also advances new discussion on Bakhtinian aesthetics. For the continuation of this forward momentum, we suggest a more nuanced approach to the placement of the ‘researcher’ within the applied methodological matrix. Similarly, we also advocate for the synthesising of research tools, often appropriated by theological studies, into said methodological matrix.This is a reply to:Mitchell, Sue and Eiroa-Orosa, Francisco J. 2018. “Love your enemy?

The religious dimensions of populism merit further investigation, not least insofar as appeals to ‘Christian identity’ feature within right-wing, nationalist rhetoric. Theological discourse needs to critique such a misappropriation of Christian discourse both in theory and in practice. First, it must substitute associations of Christianity with exclusive and fixed accounts of ‘the people’ with alternative accounts of the body of Christ as knowing no boundaries. Second, it must be countered by practical, public demonstrations of the churches as communities of practice that embody values of openness, inclusion and hospitality.This is a reply to:Wood, B. 2018. “The Decay of Western Liberalism and the Christological Alternative.” Global Discourse. doi:10.1080/23269995.2018.1523331.","PeriodicalId":213164,"journal":{"name":"Cultivating New Post-secular Political Space","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114997348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
