In Crossing the Rubicon C.Raja Mohan gives.pdf (text only) Crossing When Caesar was about to cross, he quoted from a play by Menander to say. He realized how important his decision was, especially since Rome had already undergone tons of civil dispute.
If you cross the Rubicon, you make an important decision which cannot be changed and which will have very important consequences. Today the Government has crossed the Rubicon in favour of the Euro. In England and Wales the Rubicon has been crossed regarding the charging of fees to students.
Note: This expression is variable, for example people sometimes talk about the crossing of the Rubicon or a crossing of the Rubicon. Such a decision would be a crossing of the Rubicon.
Note: Sometimes this important decision is referred to as a person's Rubicon. There would be no turning back; if he was making a big mistake, this was his Rubicon. Note: The Rubicon was a small river which separated Roman Italy from Gaul, the province ruled by Julius Caesar. Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 BC, invaded Roman Italy, and started a civil war. `The die is cast' is based on the same incident.

Author by: Language: en Publisher by: Oxford University Press Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 65 Total Download: 977 File Size: 44,6 Mb Description: In France today, philosophy--phenomenology in particular--finds itself in a paradoxical relation to theology. Some debate a 'theological turn.' Others disavow theological arguments as if such arguments would tarnish their philosophical integrity, while nevertheless carrying out theology in other venues.
In Crossing the Rubicon, Emmanuel Falque seeks to end this face-off. Convinced that 'the more one theologizes, the better one philosophizes,' he proposes a counterblow by theology against phenomenology. Instead of another philosophy of 'the threshold' or 'the leap'--and through a retrospective and forward-looking examination of his own method--he argues that an encounter between the two disciplines will reveal their mutual fruitfulness and their true distinctive borders.
Falque shows that he has made the crossing between philosophy and theology and back again with audacity and perhaps a little recklessness, knowing full well that no one thinks without exposing himself to risk.
