loginTheology and Social Theorywas written in the middle of the Thatcherite era, outof the conviction that a theological vision alone could challenge the emerginghegemony of neo-liberalism. This did not mean, as some have suggested, thatI sought to instrumentalize theology and religion. To the contrary, I sought toshow why, for reasons quite exceeding the political, a Catholic Christianaccount of reality might be entertained as the most finally persuasive one.But then, for both theological and historico-philosophical reasons, I soughtalso to argue that only a new embracing of such an account could free us fromour contemporary historical deadlock.
