AB - This paper examines the theological and ethical differences between Stanley Hauerwas, an American Christian ethicist, and Michel de Certeau, a French philosopher. Hauerwas defends himself against the criticism of being sectarian by using de Certeau’s conceptual distinction between “strategy” and “tactic” in his book, After Christendom? However, it has been argued that Hauerwas goes beyond merely employing de Certeau’s functional description and develops the concept of “pilgrimage” for his ethics. This paper contends that such an argument is somewhat problematic. To support this claim, the paper examines actual instances where Hauerwas cites de Certeau and explores the connections and differences between Hauerwas and de Certeau, seeking to determine whether there is indeed a close connection or notable distinctions. By demonstrating that de Certeau, who directly supports postmodernism and political movements, differs theologically and philosophically from Hauerwas, the paper highlights the necessity of normative claims in ethical and theological discourse and suggests that descriptive approaches must be accompanied by normative assertions to serve as creative alternatives. Consequently, it argues that Hauerwas is significantly more normative, public, and creative than de Certeau or postmodern theology and Christian ethics.
