Abstract

This text is about Milbank’s concept of culture as donology. Intention of author is present hermeneutical disposition and metaphysical vision of project very well known as Radical Orthodoxy. John Milbank is informal leader of the project. After short explanation what is Radical Orthodoxy all about, we came to their critique of modernity, especially this part of critique which is concerned with a culture. After that critique we will shortly introduce Milbank’s insights on postmodern culture and his critique of culture as donology. Most important authors for Milbank are not only Deleuze and Gauttary but also in first place Augustine Aurelius. Milbank reads and interprets Augustine with the help of participative doxolological discourse in context of postmodern theory.
