The theology of God’s death transferred into philosophy’s absolutizing of finitude.

Evidence

If the phrase ‘God himself is dead’ indicates the event of God’s negation of himself, it equally brings us back to the situation of modern philosophy with its absolutizing of finitude. It is this signification which has in effect ‘been transferred (verlegt)’ from the theological domain to that of philosophy. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 784
