The dead have a habit of returning in spectral form, disturbing the flow of our lives, and disrupting our best laid plans. Indeed, within the secular world, the God proclaimed dead by Nietzsche continues to haunt us in strange ways. The theorist Lacan was particularly sensitive to this reality; he claimed we should change the cry “God is dead” to “God is unconscious.” For although God has been banished from the consciousness of contemporary society, this figure still inhabits society as strongly as ever. In this seminar, Peter will explain these ideas and outline an insurrectionary vision of Christianity that aims squarely at exorcising this spectral figure.
