CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURES:
PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF
THE CONCEPTS AND EXISTENCE OF GOD
HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL SURVEY

The Relation between Essence and Existence in the Anthropology Paul Tillich says that the understanding man is the center of the theological thought. When there is the question What is man?, the answer to the question cannot be one. He says the answer must always be two moreover, speaking exactly, three.

The Essence of Man

Man is a creature of the good nature of which he possesses in itself. Platos Idea is called essence by Paul Tillich. He asserts that this essence must form the greatness and individuality of man.
Summarizing this in conclusion he says, man is a finite freedom. This means the freedom of rational will (Tillich, 1967, 203).

But freedom is the power of which it possesses. But possesses language means what possesses general concept. And also what possesses the general concept can recognize and control the nature because it possesses the concept which can tie over the nature in itself.
This is the freedom about which Paul Tillich talks about in his theory of essence. He asserts that this freedom must include the possibility which can break down the conditioned reflex of the Modern Psychology.

He asserts that man does not take an action with the conditioned reflex but with the whole existence of which it possesses its own center. And the mode of human action indirectly does not react, but with the mode of stopping, thinking, carefully deliberation, and making decision.
This is a manlike side of human being. And the only freedom of reaction, he said, can make human being manlike, which has the center(identity) that only human being can possess in the perfect meaning.

But this means that human being stays in the finite limitations of human faculty. What this is the definition of the essential aspect of human being which is so called Tillichs theory of essence in his Anthropology.

The Existence of Man

Man is, so to speak, existentially in the ultimate situation. This means that man is the descendant depraved by sin. But the depravation is not the historical depravation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, but a mythological expression.

In other words, the depravation by original sin is not the fact that it happened in the past but the subjective fact that it has psychologically been happening in an individual at the present time.
This is the Tillichs theory of original sin. In order to understand this theory of original sin more exactly and concretely, he says, it is just necessary to appreciate the novels and the plays as well as the philosophy of the philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Sartre, and Marcel.

He said the description of the depravation of original sin in the Bible is nothing but a mythological expression. In order to understand the existential situation of man expressed to myth in terms of the modern existentialistic philosophical literature, such as philosophical literature must be beyond the Bible. He eventually diminished the authority of the Bible. 💟💟💟..
