Paul Tillich: Influential Theologian and Existentialist Philosopher
Paul Tillich, a German-American Christian existentialist philosopher, is widely regarded as one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century. His upbringing and experiences in the German army during World War I shaped his philosophical perspective. Tillich developed the concept of the method of correlation, which emphasizes the interplay between theology and existential, philosophical, and psychological issues. He believed that courage is essential in facing anxiety and finding meaning in life. Tillich's theology transcends the atheistic notion of God as a personal and super-personal ground of being. He emphasizes the importance of symbols and warns against literalistic interpretations. Tillich asserts that doubt is not the opposite of faith, but rather an element of it. Ultimate concern and acceptance of oneself as accepted, even in the face of non-being, hold transformative power.
