The project: Trace the use of “perichoretic” modes of thought in modern philosophy, particularly French philosophy. Follow these easy steps:
1) Start with Gabriel Marcel, Henri Bergson, Merleau-Ponty. Throw in Polanyi like paprika.
2) Investigate links with Trinitarian theologians and the nouvelle theologie.
3) Follow through the after-story by looking at French post-structuralism.
4) Write.
5) Publish.
6) Rake in the royalties and bathe in lifelong celebrity.
