Bruno Bauer

The career of the Hegelian theologian Bruno Bauer is marked by his sudden turn from a reasoned defender of Christianity into one of its most extreme critics. His radical interpretation of Hegel’s philosophy, which he first used to defend orthodox biblical hermeneutics, ultimately led him to become, as one of his admirers said, the ‘Robespierre of theology’. As the leader of the so-called ‘Young Hegelian’ school, Bauer was one of Hegel’s most gifted students. However, his condemnation of theology in general and his thesis that the New Testament was merely the fictional product of an unknown author contributed to the general distrust of Hegelianism among religious thinkers. Although his many theological and historical writings now remain largely unread, his ‘Critical Philosophy’ and his radical atheism exerted a strong influence upon Marx, who was his student and friend, and is still evident in such contemporaries as Jürgen Habermas.

Angelus Silesius

This essay seeks to contribute to revolutionary understandings of time through an examination of Derrida's 1993 book Sauf le nom, and the poet and mystic Angelus Silesius, whom Derrida reads in this book. The essay counters Martin Hägglund's claim that deconstruction and negative theology are fundamentally opposed to one another by tracing the work of impoverishment in Silesius's poetry. The essay then employs this understanding of impoverishment to deconstruct the concept of desire in Hägglund's 2008 book Radical Atheism, proposing as an alternative to this concept a ‘faith of revolution’ that is tied to a certain understanding of the future.
