Descrição
Resumo:The following text is an attempt to systematize some readings about the nature of Christian monotheism from the perspective of three thinkers who coincide in their efforts to defend polytheism as a political, ontological and ethical alternative: Edward Butler, Odo Marquard and Nego Bispo. In this sense, the text serves as an introduction and invitation for a cross-reading of his ideas insofar as, following different formations and starting points - the first a philosopher concerned with rescuing polytheism as a parameter for theology, the second a thinker interested in in polytheistic political theology, the third a quilombola leadership fighting for decolonization through the pluralism of the universe - all identify a form of violence that is constitutive and necessary for the coherence of monotheism.
