Paul Tillich

Recorded name: 保罗·蒂利希

Paul Tillich was a German-American theologian and philosopher who sought to place modern human problems and theological language in one explanatory framework through concepts such as ontology, symbols, and 'ultimate concern'.

Original Chinese introduction

保罗·蒂利希是德裔美国神学家与哲学家,试图用存在论、象征与“终极关切”等概念,把现代人的问题与神学语言放入同一解释框架。

'Systematic Theology' organizes the issues of existence, reason, and revelation using the 'method of correlation'; 'The Courage to Be' from 1952 transformed anxiety, despair, and self-affirmation into a philosophical argument for the public; his cultural theology then brought this explanatory approach into art, politics, psychology, and inter-religious materials.

Original Chinese context

《系统神学》以“关联方法”组织存在、理性和启示的问题;1952年的《存在的勇气》把焦虑、绝望和自我肯定转为面向公众的哲学论证;他的文化神学又把这种解释方式带入艺术、政治、心理与跨宗教材料。

CALCULATION

How the score is calculated

Q = 10^(M/2) − 1; Lᵢ = aᵢ × Qᵢ; L = Σ Lᵢ; S = 2 × log₁₀(1 + L).

M is an outcome’s assessed magnitude and a is the person’s allocated share. A standalone score is only a per-item reference; the attributed light from distinct contributions is what can be combined.

01The Correlation Method of 'Systematic Theology' and the Ontological Theological System《系统神学》的关联方法与存在论神学体系OUT-SL2107-1951-1963-SYSTEMATIC-THEOLOGY-CORRELATION-FRAMEWORK

Record year1951–1963

summaryPlaces the existential questions of modern people and theological symbols in a systematic correlation of questions and answers, and restates God, revelation, and religious knowledge in ontological language. It covers the correlation method of the three-volume 'Systematic Theology' and its interconnected interpretive system of existence, reason, revelation, the ground of being, and religious symbols; the objective truth of Christian propositions, church institutions, and subsequent theological developments are excluded.

Original Chinese · summary

将现代人的存在问题与神学符号置于成体系的问答关联中,并以存在论语言重述上帝、启示和宗教知识。 三卷《系统神学》的关联方法、存在/理性/启示、存在根基和宗教象征等相互连接的解释体系;基督教命题的客观真值、教会制度和后继神学发展排除。

M rationaleThe three-volume system has broad scope, internal connections, and a mature outcome of long-term discussion; as a humanistic interpretive method, it is assigned M5.7. This value does not claim that religious propositions have been empirically verified.

02The Courage to Be: A Public Philosophical Analysis of Anxiety, Nonbeing, and Courage《存在的勇气》对焦虑、非存在与勇气的公共哲学分析OUT-SL2107-1952-COURAGE-TO-BE-EXISTENTIAL-ANALYSIS

Record year1952

summaryOrganizes several kinds of existential anxiety into a readable public argument, connecting individual, social, and religious dimensions through courage as 'affirming being in spite of …'. The 1952 'The Courage to Be' offers a philosophical-theological analysis of modern anxiety, despair, nonbeing, and self-affirmation; psychological diagnosis, clinical therapeutic effects, self-help applications, and existentialism as a whole are excluded.

Original Chinese · summary

把多类存在焦虑组织成可读的公共论证,并以“在……之中仍肯定存在”的勇气概念连接个体、社会与宗教维度。 1952年《存在的勇气》对现代焦虑、绝望、非存在和自我肯定的哲学神学分析;心理诊断、临床治疗效果、自助应用和全部存在主义排除。

M rationaleAn independent public text provides a structured explanation for a broad set of life questions, taking M5.2; dissemination reputation serves only as scope evidence, not as proof of truth value.

约1919–1966

summaryApplies the general method already developed in 'Systematic Theology' to material from art, politics, psychology, and interreligious exchange, leaving additional work in selecting subjects, interpreting particular cases, and organizing dialogue. This entry covers Tillich's specific interpretive applications of the existing correlation method, religious symbolism, and ultimate concern to culture, art, and dialogue across traditions. The general theories of correlation and symbolism are already fully accounted for under 'Systematic Theology'; the achievements of the fields themselves, empirical scientific conclusions, and the doctrines of other religions are excluded.

Original Chinese · summary

把已在《系统神学》中形成的通用方法用于艺术、政治、心理与跨宗教材料,留下对象选择、具体解释和对话组织的应用残余。 Tillich把既有通用关联法、宗教象征和终极关切用于文化、艺术及跨传统对话时形成的具体解释应用残余;关联法和象征的一般理论完全由《系统神学》点消费,各领域自身成果、经验科学结论和他宗教教义排除。

M rationaleM5.3 was originally judged from the residue of specific applications in culture, art, and cross-traditional contexts, and is retained. The general correlation method and the theories of religious symbolism and ultimate concern are already accounted for under 'Systematic Theology'; textual clarification does not mechanically change the score, nor is breadth of subject matter mistaken for the sum of achievements in each field.

Original Chinese · M rationale

M5.3原本即按文化艺术与跨传统具体应用残余判断,现保持该值;通用关联方法、宗教象征及终极关切理论已由《系统神学》点消费,不因文案澄清机械调分,也不把题材广度误算成各领域成果总和。

overlap boundaryThe specific interpretive application residues formed when Tillich applied the existing general correlation method, religious symbolism, and ultimate concern to culture, art, and cross-traditional dialogue; the general theories of correlation and symbolism are entirely counted/reused by the "Systematic Theology" points, excluding each field's own achievements, empirical scientific conclusions, and other religious doctrines.

Not included in this score

These subjects are recorded as exclusions and are not silently treated as zero or as part of the included outcomes.

Religious socialism, anti-Nazi public action

宗教社会主义、反纳粹公共行动

Reason The materials confirm the political ethics and the background of dismissal by the Nazis in 1933, but independently reviewable organizations, texts, and policy deliverables have not yet been established.

Preaching and teaching services

Reason There is evidence of preaching and teaching, but a completed service contribution independent of the three intellectual texts has not yet been established.

Original Chinese reason

Original versions, lecture manuscripts, and editorial archives

原始版本、讲稿与编辑档案

Reason Publisher descriptions and research introductions can support the scope of the works, but are insufficient to distinguish, item by item, the formation of correlation, ultimate concern, symbolism, and cultural application.

Original Chinese reason

出版社描述与研究导论能支持作品范围,但不足以逐项分清关联、终极关切、象征和文化应用的形成过程。

Clinical, self-help, and cultural reception effects

临床、自助与文化接受效果

Reason 'The Courage to Be' is not a clinical guide; the psychological, theological, artistic, and religious discussions influenced by it have their own research and practical responsibilities.

Original Chinese reason

《存在的勇气》不是临床指南;受其影响的心理、神学、艺术和宗教讨论有各自的研究与实践责任。
