I will come out of the closet as a kind of Hegelian whose theopoetics is opposed to the Kantians (my “two types”). This no doubt will come as a surprise to my readers who, ever since Radical Hermeneutics, are used to hearing me hold forth that the radical element in hermeneutics lies in getting rid of the closet Hegelianism of Gadamer and Ricoeur. I still believe that, but I have since been born again about Hegel, given a new grace, having chanced upon a way to think of myself as a Hegelian.
