Preliminary notes on divine images in the light of being-historical thinking

Bernhard Radloff

pp. 145-171

This paper examines Heidegger's way of addressing religious experience through such key works as Mindfulness and Aus der Erfahrung des Denkens. Proceeding from "clues" (adopted from Parvis Emad) as to the methodological connection between hermeneutics and being-historical thinking on the one hand, and the question of the arrival and flight of the gods on the other, this study addresses the simultaneous concealing and sheltering of the (divine) mystery within the age of "machination." Ultimately, the Christian revelation of God both hinges on the preservation of this mystery and yet jeopardizes it through its metaphysical expression as the ground of the "causa sui."
