Description
Summary:Paul Tillich’s eschatology is strongly linked to his ethics. In order to understand the theological and philosophical implications of this linkage it is necessary to consult his systematic main works from the 1920’s era. The intellectual environment of the Weimar era was used to apocalyptical descriptions of its present age - which within protestant theology was reflected in eschatological terms. Tillich’s contribution to the eschatological discourse of that time consisted in the development of an eschatology which (while preserving the critical attitude of dialectic theology) was designed to be a transcendental theory reflecting the conditions of the constitution of agency.
