„Dass das Prinzip der Entgegensetzung nicht aufgehoben werden kann, sondern menschliches Sein überhaupt erst möglich macht.“
-
Erdmann Sturm
Abstract
In his lectures on Hegel, given in Frankfurt in 1931/32, Tillich dealt with the early manuscripts of Hegel. For Tillich, these fragments show the life blood pulsating in Hegel’s later system. His existential roots are the religious and the political. Tillich has special sympathy for the fragments about Abraham. Abraham represents unreconciled religious transcendence and the unreconciled situation of man. Tillich shows the political actuality of Hegel’s principle of opposition (Entgegensetzung): the German nation is a nation of Entgegensetzungen, it cannot run against fate. Later, in America, Tillich claimed against Hegel’s idea of reconciliation: No analysis of life can give reconciliation.
