Prolegomenon to Paul Tillich’s Theology: Edmund Husserl and His Legacy to Tillich

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Paul Tillich’s theology is often misapprehended as merely proposing the Christian symbol “God” to the existential question. This essay aims to remove such a narrowed understanding. Tillich’s theology demarcates the expansion of naturalism, retrieves the transcendental aspect of reality, and thereby af- firms the possibility of theological voices in public realm. For Tillich high- lights different academic disciplines corresponding to epistemic objects as well as their synthesis. Since reality comprises multiple realms, without some pertinent discipline understanding the reality as a whole can be distorted. The thought is heavily influenced by Edmund Husserl although there have not been much preceding researches on such an influence. It is necessary to explore Husserl’s phenomenology first to understand Tillich’s theology properly. This essay shall examine some concepts of Husserl’s “experience,” “regard,” “appearance,” “transcendental ego,” and “objectivating attitude” that influenced on Tillich’s thought. This study shall give rise to a robust under- standing of Tillich’s theology and its legitimacy in terms of promoting the in- terdisciplinary study and advocating the public efficacy of theology.
