| Summary: | Two recent accounts of the relationship between theology and philosophy differ pointedly: Fides et Ratio describes an ‘intimate bond between theological and philosophical wisdom', while John Milbank charges theology to ‘evacuate philosophy, which is metaphysics', entirely. An early (1929) debate between Paul Tillich and Karl Barth on this subject is both clarifying and instructive for our present theological situation. Tillich and Barth would differ in their assessments of the relationship between theology and philosophy described by Fides et Ratio, but, against Milbank, both Tillich and Barth would agree that theology attempts to isolate itself from philosophy at its peril. |
