Material Kenosis

What is left to say about death after we have affirmed that it is the great negation of life? How shall we speak of our desire for life once we realize that this desire is crossed just as anything else in us by the negativity of death? If love is self-gift is the self-negation of love analogous in any way to the negation of death? And what about the fact that it seems obvious to us that death is nothing other than a problem to be dealt with technoscientifically? <i>Material Kenosis</i> attempts to answer these questions by articulating a metaphysics of death based on the notion of “material kenosis” and through a close engagement with a broad variety of philosophical and theological positions.<br />
