Beyond the writing is a very interesting meeting point between contemporary philosophy and Catholic theology. In it, Catherine Pickstock points out the guidelines for liturgical restore order through a detailed reading of Plato's Phaedrus, the medieval Roman Rite and a discussion of the theology of the Eucharist. Pickstock's founder, along with John Milbank and Ward of a new trend in theology, called "radical orthodoxy", which aims to rediscover the transcendent and the sacred through a critique of nihilism, so fashionable in academic culture, and Pickstock say that leads directly to a sort of "necrophilia". Its major finding is to establish a fundamental connection between the right understanding of the liturgy and philosophy from a very critical dialogue with a wide range of philosophers from Descartes to Derrida. Catherine Pickstock's perspective on the Liturgy has attracted the attention of many since its publication in English. Beyond writing this young theologian said British as one of the defenders of the Catholic liturgy, as it represents the most perfect expression of divine worship which is the source of all religious rituals. Although the book is not intended to engage in any controversy about it, is derived from reading a critique of the reform of the Roman rite performed by the Second Vatican Council.
