| Résumé: | In this paper, I explore a possible a/theological response to what Nietzsche called the 'death of God'-or Hölderlin's and Heidegger's 'flight of the gods'-through a juxtaposition of the Christian-Pauline concept of kenosis and the ancient Greek-Platonic notion of chora, and by taking Nishida Kitaro's appropriations of these concepts as a clue and starting point. Nishida refers to chora in 1926 to initiate his philosophy of place (basho) and then makes reference to kenosis in 1945 in his final work that culminates-without necessarily completing-his oeuvre. What he had thereby accomplished is an inversion of Platonism resulting in the collapse of the transcendent/immanent-idea/genesis and by implication the Heaven/Earth-dichotomy. I then unpack the ethical implication of this kenotic chora Nishida has left us with. It suggests from us a certain response to the desacralization or secularization of the world. I shall build upon this suggestion and unfold its implications by drawing from a variety of sources, starting with Nishida but including others, such as Meister Eckhart, Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, Gianni Vattimo, Reiner Schürmann, Mark Taylor, Jürgen Moltmann, and other philosophical and theological sources. |
