This book presents Paul Tillich at his very best--brief, clear,
stimulating, provocative. Speaking with understanding and force, he
makes a basic analysis of love, power, and justice, all concepts
fundamental in the mutual relations of people, of social groups,
and of humankind to God. His concern is to penetrate to the
essential, or ontological foundation of the meaning of each of
these words and thus save them from the vague talk, idealism,
cynicism, and sentimentality with which they are usually treated.
The basic unity of love, power, and justice is affirmed and
described in terms that are fresh and compelling.
Der Band enthalt die bisher unveroffentlichten Manuskripte der
Vorlesungen, die der Privatdozent Paul Tillich vom Wintersemester
1920/21 bis zum Wintersemester 1923/24 an der Theologischen
Fakultat der Berliner Universitat gehalten hat. Ihr Thema ist die
Geschichte des philosophischen Denkens von den Vorsokratikern bis
zur Aufklarung unter besonderer Berucksichtigung der
altchristlichen und mittelalterlichen Philosophie. Tillich
behandelt den traditionellen Stoff der Philosophiegeschichte nach
der von ihm in seiner Idee der Geisteswissenschaft begrundeten
metalogischen Methode, einer theonomen Erkenntnistheorie. Die
Vorlesungen zeigen Sinn und Reichweite dieser Methode und stellen
Konkretionen seines Programms einer Theologie der Kultur dar."
This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection. To
mark its 125th anniversary in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania
Press rereleased more than 1,100 titles from Penn Press's
distinguished backlist from 1899-1999 that had fallen out of print.
Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers
peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.
Dr. Tillich shows here that in spite of the contrast between
philosophical and biblical language, it is neither necessary nor
possible to separate them from each other. On the contrary, all the
symbols used in biblical religion drive inescapably toward the
philosophical quest for being. An important statement of a great
theologian's position, this book presents an eloquent plea for the
essential function of philosophy in religious thought.
