| Resumo: | In The Anticipatory Corpse, Jeffrey Bishop argues that "death is medicine's transcendental." In this paper, I further explore this claim to show that modern medicine is nihilistic through (1) Heidegger's critique of medical technology as Nietzschean ontotheology and (2) Heidegger's ontology of Death and the Nothing. As a response to this double nihilism of medicine, I suggest that Maximus the Confessor's metaphysics of the Incarnation reveals that creation from nothing gives way to fullness of life and that life is revealed in the death of Christ. |
