Changing ontotheology

Paul Tillich, Catherine Malabou, and the plastic God

Jeffrey W. Robbins

pp. 159-177

Abstract

By his identification of God with being-itself Paul Tillich is an ontotheologian par excellence. As Charles Winquist affirms: "Tillich is not a postmodern theologian. He clearly works within the ontotheological tradition."1 Indeed, Tillich may be seen as the last unabashed ontotheologian. While this relatively straightforward claim has been contested by many leading scholars of Tillich, it will be my argument that the radical Tillich is the ontotheological Tillich.2
