courage to be, The

Taking the main formulations of existentialism, Paul Tillich conceived a theology in which humankind is not seen in the abstract, as an isolated entity, but rather as an experientially integrated and integral part of an entire social and cultural context. The courage to be, to accept or deny, to participate in a world dominated by anxiety, or by depersonalization through the brutality of life-deforming techniques: this is the incitement that the pages of this book represent.
