| Summary: | Theodore Adorno entitled the final section of his book Negative Dialektic “After Auschwitz”. For Adorno, this horror rendered metaphysical speculation incapable of speaking in universal terms. Paul Tillich’s early correlative method led him to speak against the Nazi regime and its persecution of the Jewish race. The practice of this correlative method brought Tillich to critique both the political and the social structure. His method of correlation stands above “metaphysics in its downfall” as he was aware of the negative results long before Auschwitz. This essay contends that Tillich’s methodology called for a new praxis of emancipation. |
