„Anxiety is finitude, experienced as one’s own finitude.“

„Anxiety is finitude, experienced as one’s own finitude.“ AbstractThis essay discusses Paul Tillich’s concept of anxiety. In his book The Courage to Be, Tillich speaks of a correlation between an ontology of anxiety and an ontology of courage. The essay explains this relation against the background of the development of Tillich’s works. The roots of the correlation between anxiety and courage can be found in Tillich’s concept of religion on the basis of the doctrine of justification, which he continually worked out back to his early writings. He uses this understanding of religion for his description of modern culture. Anxiety and courage are the two aspects in which God is disclosed in human consciousness. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Yearbook for Tillich Research de Gruyter
