Abstract
This chapter analyzes the notion of God as the ‘transcendent Other’ as explained in Continental philosophy. In order to de-limit and to focus, three French phenomenologists are analyzed: Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Marion, whose philosophical school is known as the ‘theological turn.’ In this chapter, it is argued that their philosophy of the ‘transcendent Other’ maintains an asymmetric relationship with immanence and thus becomes inadequate in the context of the agonistic politics of the ‘concrete others’ in the postcolonial world.
