On Living in Perennial Crisis and the Immanent Afterlife

Cover of Kristof K.P. Vanhoutte: Limbo Reapplied (PDF)

The observation that our world is signed by a lasting crisis is as much underwritten as it is questioned. This book offers a new and provocative thesis by taking recourse to the religious discourse of Limbo, and by investigating the temporal and spatial structures of crisis and modernity. Modernity reveals itself to be the state of perennial crisis, and we all live in an immanentized state of Limbo.
