Summary/Abstract: The collective volume Politics of Religion/Religions of Politics, edited by Alistair Welchman , Associate Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy and Classics at the University of Texas at San Antonio, comprises most of the papers that were initially presented during a workshop dedicated to and benefitting from the presence of Simon Critchley , at the same University back in February 2010. The participants in this event had the opportunity to both analyze different aspects related to Simon Critchley’s work as well as various other topics emerging from his work. Beyond the great variety of analyzed topics and perspectives presented the reader notices also the common grounds and convergence of most of these articles embodied and represented by Critchley’s analysis of the intersection of politics and religion, the way these two realms impact each other and consequently the transformations affecting both politics and religion.
