Who is Jean-Yves Lacoste?
Jean-Yves Lacoste is a philosopher associated with what Dominique Janicaud called the "theological turn in phenomenology" along with other influential French phenomenologists like Michel Henry, Jean-Luc Marion, and Jean-Louis Chrétien. Lacoste's work straddles philosophy and theology, and displays an interest in what might be called postmodern themes, who works in Paris and Cambridge, holding a life membership at Clare Hall, Cambridge. Lacoste's influential 1994 book, Experience and the Absolute argues against the modern prizing of "religious experience" and defends the view that God is knowable as lovable, and does not give himself by way of experience or feeling. In 2010, Lacoste delivered the James W. Richards lectures at the University of Virginia, where he is currently Visiting Professor of Religious Studies. His paper, entitled "From Theology to Theological Thinking", called for erasing rigid distinctions between philosophical and theological disciplines.
His publications include:
Note sur le temps: Essai sur les raisons de la mémoire et de l'espérance, 1990
Expérience et absolu: Questions disputées sur l'humanité de l'homme, 1994
