- Abstract
- The article is dedicated to one of the key themes in works of an outstanding German-American philosopher and theologian Paul Tillich (1886-1965) - to the analysis of a category "the courage to be" in the aspects of ontology, anthropology and ethics. "The courage to be" is, according to Tillich, an affirmation by a man of his being in spite of the threat of non-being. Like Heidegger, Tillich considered being of a man to be the only key to being as such. The concept of God in Tillich's works is a theological synonym of the category of Being. Tillich perceives the category of Being, as well as later Schelling and Heidegger, as a foundation of the world. Existential anxiety of a man about the sense of Being testifies that a man is essentially connected with Being, but alienated from it in his profane existence. Religiousness is a man's condition of an "ultimate concern" about the unconditional sense of Being and "the courage to be", according to Tillich, is an appeal to the Transcendence.
