Wide Existential Questions: A New Materialist Approach to the Method of Correlation

Wide Existential Questions: A New Materialist Approach to the Method of Correlation AbstractThis chapter examines how Paul Tillich’s method of correlation is challenged but potentially compatible with the questioning of binaries that occurs in new materialism. In particular it examines how Karen Barad’s agential realism, and its primordial ontological unity of the ‘phenomenon’ understood as a relation without relata, disrupts the axiomatic reliance on a distinction between self and world that underpins the method of correlation specifically and many forms of correlational theology more generally. Giving weight to Tillich’s broad understanding of existentialism and its potential connection to his account of theonomy provides a way forward that gives credence to the ‘intra-action’ that has become critical to many forms of posthumanism and new materialism. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Yearbook for Tillich Research de Gruyter

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter examines how Paul Tillich’s method of correlation is challenged but potentially compatible with the questioning of binaries that occurs in new materialism. In particular it examines how Karen Barad’s agential realism, and its primordial ontological unity of the ‘phenomenon’ understood as a relation without relata, disrupts the axiomatic reliance on a distinction between self and world that underpins the method of correlation specifically and many forms of correlational theology more generally. Giving weight to Tillich’s broad understanding of existentialism and its potential connection to his account of theonomy provides a way forward that gives credence to the ‘intra-action’ that has become critical to many forms of posthumanism and new materialism.
