Peter Rollins & Richard Boothby: Unknowing & Radical Christianity
Psyche
The Failure to Grasp the Absolute
In this chapter, the speakers discuss the concept of the absolute and the limitations of language in understanding it. They explore the idea that there are two approaches to experiencing the absolute: through liminal experiences where one briefly feels at one with the absolute, or through recognizing the failure of language to fully grasp it. They also discuss Lacanian theory and the concept of object a, highlighting how failure can generate fantasies and obstacles can paradoxically lead to desired outcomes.
