Myśleć i mówić o Bogu dzisiaj. Paula Tillicha propozycja refleksji nad religią

Abstract

Philosophy of God and religion in the 20th century falls outside easy and unambiguous opinions. The appearance of the “masters of suspicions” and the technological progress of the modern society imprinted an indelible mark on the modern reflection about God and religion. The search of the new language of talking about the God becomes one of the main tasks for present philosophers and theologians. Paul Tillich belongs to outstanding thinkers of the twentieth century who bravely joined the discussion on the “Areopagus of the present culture”. Tillich from one side presents himself as a theologian, defining yet again defensive tasks of the Christian theology, and from the other as a philosopher, questioning the narrow conceptions of present rationality and experience; he looks for adequate solutions. As a philosopher and theologian, he searches for the ways of reconciliation of reason and belief, religion and culture; the ways which will help the present man to understand himself and to come to God. The article presents only some ideas of Paul Tillich’s philosophical and theological thought.
