Leveraging Franke''s distinctive method of philosophical, religious, and literary thinking and practice, \u003ci\u003eOn the Universality of What Is Not\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a radically unsettling approach to answering (or suspending) perennial questions of philosophy and religion, as well as to dealing with some of our mos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Most impressive is what has now become William Franke’s hallmark: an erudite interdisciplinarity that moves with seeming ease between various disciplines within the humanities in order to reach a more comprehensive position from which to examine any one issue. \u003ci\u003eOn the Universality of What Is Not\u003c\/i\u003e brings a strong career focused on apophatic thinking to an important high point.” —Andrew W.
