Johannes Hoff
Johannes Hoff is a German Christian philosopher, theologian and university professor.
Born in Trier, Hoff completed his doctorate and habilitation at the University of Tübingen in 2006 and is currently senior research associate at the van Hügel Institute of the University of Cambridge and honorary professor at the Department of Theology and Religion of Durham University. Until 2018, he has been professor of philosophical theology at Heythrop College. Previously he has been teaching at St David's Catholic College in Wales and at the University of Tübingen.
His research builds on the performative turn of the phenomenological tradition and the emergence of a natural realism in the post-analytic tradition of Anglophone philosophy and theology. Hoff interprets the loss of orientation in today's late modern societies as the symptom of a spiritual crisis that can be traced back to the technological and artistic revolutions of the Renaissance and late medieval Scholasticism. His arguments extend the genealogical hermeneutics of Michel Foucault, Michel de Certeau, Henri de Lubac, John Milbank and Charles Taylor.
