Research On Tillich’s Religious View

Where religion will go,when God is dead ? This is one of the core questions that modern religious philosophers try to answer.Since Kant,numerous religious philosophers attempt to own philosophy or theology of Christianity for looking for a new position in the modern culture,two of the most groundbreaking and representative are Schleiermacher’s internal religious view of religion as "emotion" and Barthes’ s transcendental religious view of "religion as the sublation of the revelation of God".Tillich is also under the background of this problem,He is directly facing the reality and Transcendence of God to cancel the internal view of religion and religious enlightenment the antithesis between the view of religion is caused by the dilemma of digestion or supernatural.Tillich’s insight into the dialectical relationship between man and God in the real dilemma,put forward "Method of Correlation" that correlates the question about the human being’s existence with the answer about the Christian revelation,This correlation is also the essence of the relationship between man and God as two subject in The concept of "Ultimate Concern".Ultimate concern not only refers to the unconditional concern of the ultimate problem of "being or not to be",also refers to determine the ultimate power to "being or not to be".This ultimate power is not only present in the unconditional experience of man,but also as the source of the ultimate courage to overcome "non-being",It is the Being-itself-God.The two aspects of creativity and abyss as the God of Being-itself,It affirms the subjectivity and the transcendence and reality of the subject in the ultimate concern.As a result,Tillich answered the question of "religion Where to go" through the religious view of man and God,As an absolute religion,Christianity is unavoidable for man who existential alienation,and It’s absolutely effective for people to regain their courage.Tillich has been able to transcend the internal view of religion and the transcendental view of religion,presents a new view of religion with apologetical and realistically practical characters,in the final analysis,that is based on unique understanding about the balance of transcendence and inbeing of God.
