並列摘要

Although theology and philosophy are different disciplines, they have developed a subtle relationship in the western intellectual history due to the proximity of their ultimate concerns. Wolfhart Pannenberg's Theologie und Philosophie, which is a consolidation of his late lectures of the same title, addresses to the issue of their interaction. The book could be divided into five main blocks. In Block One (chapter 1), four types of relation between philosophy and theology are outlined. Block Two (chapter 2-5) investigates the influence of ancient philosophy, such as Platonism and Stoicism, to Christian thinking. Block Three (chapter 5) examines how Christian thinking has contributed to the framing of philosophy. Block Four (chapter 6-10) is composed of three subdivisions, which explicates the genesis of modem cultures with regard to their theological concerns. Block Five (chapter 11-12) examines the anthropocentric turn of contemporary theology and philosophy after Hegel, as well as their need of each other. This one-volume overview of the interaction between theology and philosophy offers the readers a convenient guide with its extensive footnotes. The only deficit is that their mutual negative influences are rarely mentioned.
