Catherine Pickstock
Catherine Pickstock is a theologian and member of the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge and a reader in philosophy and theology, fellow and tutor of Emmanuel College, Cambridge.[1][2]
Pickstock is known for her contributions to the Radical Orthodoxy movement,[3] the foundations of which are often credited to her mentor John Milbank. Her research and writing are based in philosophical theology, Platonic philosophy, and medieval theology. In particular, she has applied linguistics to theories of religious language, analogy and liturgy, looked at postmodern philosophy in relation to the reinterpretation of pre-modern theology and undertaken a reconsideration of the Platonic tradition in interaction with biblically-based faiths, especially rituals invoking divine intervention and understandings of the soul.[4]
