Abstract
We intend to survey, with Jean-Luc Nancy, the key moments of the process of construction and deconstruction of Christianity and the West, until its present state as a result of the "death of God" as own destiny of Christianity. The deconstruction of Christianity and, at the same time, the West who identifies with it, aims to reduce it to the essence of its phenomenon. This is the reciprocal “unclosion” or opening of the inheritances of religion and philosophy. Throughout history, by a virtually infinite movement, the Christian faith find out itself referring to an earlier time to itself, that it constantly renews and brightens. One of the main tasks is the deconstruction of monotheism. With the figure of Christ, the waiving of divine power and its presence becomes the very act of God. The absence or the empty-of-divinity is its deepest truth. We will show too some political and ethical implications of the process. We conclude with some thoughts about criticism of the method adopted by the author and the main results of the survey.
