Includes bibliographical references. This thesis searches for that which is sacred to Jacques Derrida and ultimately concludes that if anything is sacred to him it is the other. This concern for the sacred is an attempt to ascertain Derrida’s relevance and value for religious traditions. Derrida’s ideas serve to destabilise (sacred) centres in religious traditions in order to find place for the (excluded) other. Hence, a central theme of this dissertation is that there are no stable centres. I have attempted to demonstrate this in the structure I have followed, a structure that is "centred on" decentring ideas that, while not arbitrary, could have been substituted for others: negative theology, the other, detours, khôra and différance. 2015-01-05T07:05:03Z 2015-01-05T07:05:03Z 2012 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11390 eng application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
