This volume presents a critical edition of Paul Tillich's so far unpublished first lectures at the Theological Faculty of Berlin: 1. Christianity and the problems of contemporary society (1919), 2. Encyclopedia of Theology and Religious Studies (1920), 3. Religion and Culture (1920), 4. Philosophy of Religion (1920).

These manuscripts, archived at Harvard University, represent a differentiated document of Paul Tillich's cultural-theological reflections and those related to the philosophy of religion during the first years of the Weimar Republic.

Der Band enthält die bisher unveröffentlichten Manuskripte der Vorlesungen, die der Privatdozent Paul Tillich vom Wintersemester 1920/21 bis zum Wintersemester 1923/24 an der Theologischen Fakultät der Berliner Universität gehalten hat. Ihr Thema ist die Geschichte des philosophischen Denkens von den Vorsokratikern bis zur Aufklärung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der altchristlichen und mittelalterlichen Philosophie. Tillich behandelt den traditionellen Stoff der Philosophiegeschichte nach der von ihm in seiner Idee der Geisteswissenschaft begründeten metalogischen Methode, einer theonomen Erkenntnistheorie. Die Vorlesungen zeigen Sinn und Reichweite dieser Methode und stellen Konkretionen seines Programms einer Theologie der Kultur dar.

This edition is the first to publish three lectures which the philosopher and theologian Paul Tillich, who emigrated to the USA in 1933, delivered during a Guest Professorship at the Free University of Berlin between 1951 and 1958. The three lectures are entitled “Ontology” (1951), “The Human Situation in the Light of Theology and Existential Analysis” (1952), “The Ambivalence of Life Processes” (1958). Their common theme is the Doctrine of Man, which is developed from various perspectives.
