Book Review citing atheology: Heidegger and Philosophical Atheology by Peter S. Dillard (PhD Penn) Publisher: Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd. I am delighted to announce the publication of Heidegger and Philosophical Atheology by Peter S. Dillard (PhD Penn) in our Continuum Studies in Continental Philosophy series. Described by one reviewer as 'a welcome addition to the field', the book offers an important new reading of Heidegger's middle and later thought. Dillard shows how Heidegger's middle and later works develop a philosophical anti-theology, or 'atheology', that poses a serious threat to traditional metaphysics, natural theology and philosophy of religion. Drawing on the insights of Scholastic thinkers such as St Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus, the book reveals the problematic assumptions of Heideggerian 'atheology' and shows why they should be rejected. Dillard's critique paves the way for a rejuvenation of Scholastic metaphysics and reveals its relevance to contemporary philosophical disputes.
