Systems of Onto-Theology: Towards a Heideggerian Method

By Hue Woodson

This second edition includes "Credo," which is an early draft of Systems of Onto-Theology. Systems of Onto-Theology: Towards a Heideggerian Method book examines theological existence as a means of better understanding human existence as "being" with theological ramifications. Human existence is, in fact, theological existence, since human "being" is more than solely a philosophical reflection that moves towards theological reflection: reflection that ventures beyond the known or the given quantitative aspects of our existence towards the transcendent elements that are experiential and qualitative. From these transcendent elements, theological reflection dictates what we know. As such, in terms of praxis and authenticity, human existence is linked to divine existence, where this relationship authenticates human existence as much as it validates the conception of divine existence. There is, undoubtedly, a kind of dialectic at play here: human-God. But, also, this dialectic extends a bit further to what is exemplified in the human existence and divine existence dynamically, through which human existence cannot truly be "existence" unless it meaningfully confronts divine existence as another kind of "existence."
