Author: Antonio Cimino File Type: pdf Enactment, Politics, and Truth explores the interpretations of Saint Paul by Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, and Martin Heidegger. These interpretations are characterized by substantial thematic overlap that can be traced back to a key subject the articulation of Pauline faith (pistis). Although each thinker approaches the issue from a different angle, they all interpret Pauline pistis by focusing on how it is enacted, articulated, and expressed in Saint Pauls concrete situation. Antonio Cimino sheds light on why Agamben, Badiou, and Heidegger address Pauline pistis and what kind of philosophical motives underlie their readings. **Review Ciminos Enactment, Politics, and Truth is a seminal work on the Pauline Renaissance in 20th-century continental philosophy. Cimino provides a systematic overview of the reappropriation of the Pauline epistles in Heidegger, Agamben, and Badiou, showing that in contrast to Nietzsches dismissive attitude toward the apostle, all three thinkers discover in Paul key elements for their own philosophical projects. Exploring their different but interconnected ways of reading Paul in the context of their search for postmetaphysical modes of thinking, Ciminos book develops into a profound and insightful reflection on the complicated exchange between faith and philosophy in contemporary continental thought. Jussi Backman, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland The excellent book you hold in your hand is an original and challenging intervention which transforms the current struggle to situate the Pauline legacy in relation to continental philosophy. While recent philosophy has given birth to a new Paulinist politics by distancing the apostle from Nietzsches famous attack on Paul as a mere Platonism for the masses, Cimino moves in precisely the opposite direction. He argues against contemporary messianisms, philosophies of the event, and the fetish for pure performativity of language, claiming that we find in a philosophical Paul precisely a refashioned Platonic politics of trust, which we ourselves need now more than ever. Ciminos is a profound, moving, and perplexing new synthesis that demands respect as history, as philosophy, and finally as a plea for a new politics.
