SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
With the re-structuring of the entire edifice of Western thinking along anthropocentric lines in the wake of Descartes' "Cogito, ergo sum" and Kant's "Critique of pure reason", the names of Ludwig Feuerbach, Karl Marx and Friedrich Nietzsche mark the foundations of a widespread conviction that any inquiry setting out from an anthropological point of view arrives at acheistic conclusions, namely, the overthrow of the divinity that, from the standpoint of the human being, is "alienating". Hence, one might ask, is theology that sets out from an anthropological point of view not from the very beginning an "absurdity", a "contradictio in se"? On the contrary! "Precisely today," as Karl Rahner puts it, theology "must make contact with the human being whose own existence is of the utmost importance to him or her."
