Gilmore sees what’s happening to bodies-as-capital in ways that Yale theologian Willie James Jennings has also recounted, with racial identity and private property comprising two sides of the same coin. Jennings’ explanation of the rationale behind this describes how a “hermeneutics of possession”marks this era of body removal, relocation/incarceration, and erasure as the mode of modern capitalist state building. For this enterprise, Gilmore underscores what Kathryn Yusoff recounts in A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None (2018), the geographic and geological extraction of resources that built the modern world – with its comforts and advances for some – as essentially inextricably linked with the extraction of Black and Indigenous bodies, a plight Stephanie Pincetl has argued can never merely be undone or corrected without more radical political visions of time and space that move beyond adaptation/incorporation to more radical embodiments of justice and the virtues. In the same way, Gilmore demonstrates that the racial-carceral-capital juggernaut impacts everyone (p. 469), landing everyone in the inferno, for which all peddled capitalist frameworks, including “the fiction of race projects” (p. 495), provide no ladder of escape. For Gilmore’s exposition, while leading readers into what I am describing poetically as the abyss, she doesn’t leave them there, but finds hope in collective organizing (Section 4), willing at every point to turn to work with anyone – not just those of good will, but even willing to persuade the demons! – helping folks open to new possibilities with unlikely allies. She acknowledges groups outpacing her own (p. 469), embodying “the spirit of abolition” sans the label – a strange phenomenon amid capitalist structures that everyone has an “ontological priority” to not be harmed by (p. 183). She admits that her vision is “utopian,” not in the sense promised by late capitalism with its violent abstraction of abandonment (p. 174), but in the sense of “looking forward to a world in which prisons are not necessary” (pp. 468–9). Her prescription remains: critical forms of resistance through what she calls an enmeshed “infrastructure of feeling” (p. 490). Something like compassion, or what James Baldwin and Augustine call “love.” Not merely martyrological, but part of a conversation James Cone argues must be revolutionary throughout: embodied, enfleshed, incarnated. In skin, as Gilmore strikingly reminds us (ch. 20), and with arms stretched wide as the world, with bowels of compassion that give the kind of hope to keep walking through hell, together, until the better day, the better world, comes into being.","PeriodicalId":43759,"journal":{"name":"Political Theology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45122315","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}

Rather than a repudiation, in significant ways, Locke’s Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of St. Paul is the application of his methodological or hermeneutic approach to reading scripture laid out in the Essay Concerning Human Understanding. While the fundamental articles of Christianity were “plain” and “clear” in the gospels, requiring minimal interpretation, far more labor was required to render Paul’s sense “plain” and “clear.” Rather than a simplistic notion of doctrinal minimalism, Locke’s Christianity amplified order, duty, and obedience. It is his commitment to the interdependence of faith and reason which grounds Locke’s conviction that expressions of faith contrary to reason and destructive of civil order exceeded the bounds of legitimate religious expression.","PeriodicalId":43759,"journal":{"name":"Political Theology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47310180","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}

His invitation, which, with characteristic lightning speed, he put to me just after the advance announcement had gone out that my book, Ethics Out of Law: Hermann Cohen and the “Neighbor,” would be published, to contribute to a forum that would put it in conversation with two other titles—Levinas’s Politics. Justice, Mercy, Universality, by Annabel Herzog, and Martin Buber’s Theopolitics, by Samuel Hayim Brody—is perfectly representative of this. Looking at our three publications alongside each other is indeed an excellent occasion for accounting for some key contemporary paths of inquiry in (Euro-)Jewish philosophy and Theory. The obvious tie is that all three of our books inquire into “politics” in and through the thought of the authors we are studying: Hermann Cohen, Martin Buber, and Emmanuel Levinas. (A fourth name to be mentioned is that of Franz Rosenzweig, who, while not a direct focus of our three books, is often essential to refer to when discussing Cohen, Buber, and Levinas within the trajectories of twentieth-century Jewish thought.) Although, as indicated by my book’s title, my project was to discover how “ethics” is thought by Cohen to emerge out of “law,” the mode of inquiry into “law” that Cohen participates in is indeed at the same time a project of social and political thought. For all three of our authors, there has been, historically, limited attention to whether they contributed to questions concerning politics, or to how political concepts figured into their thinking. The names Levinas and Cohen, as well as Rosenzweig, often signified an argument for or about “ethics.” Whenever such claims have been cognizant of Jewish traditions or Jewish existence, they have also been in explicit or implicit continuity with certain modern understandings, dating from the late eighteenth century, of Judaism as an “ethical” religion or tradition, and of an “ethics of Judaism.” In a related constellation, the names Cohen, Buber, Rosenzweig, and sometimes also Levinas, were often arranged around the Buberian notion of “dialogue,” the idea of an elemental relation between an “I” and a “You.” That relation would be understood as a model of ethical comportment toward the other, an authentic experience of, or foundational precondition for sociality. If these thinkers, along with others who have been canonical for modern Jewish thought, were especially embraced for their evocations of ethics, this went along with a historic downplaying of the categories of politics and law in Jewish self-understandings since the beginnings of Emancipation. Famously, the conditions of acceptance of Jews as","PeriodicalId":43759,"journal":{"name":"Political Theology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42450320","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}
