Mieszkowski, Tadeusz2025-11-212025-11-211980Studia Theologica Varsaviensia, 1980, R. 18, nr 1, s. 125-152.https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/39222Thomas J. J. Altizer, an American death of God theologian, in effort to support his theological thought made use of Hegel Blake and Nietzsche, who according to him were the prophets of the death of God theology. The author in this article presets the Altizer’s death of God interpretation on the thought of these three writers. So in the Altizer’s describing the death of God event in term s of Hegel, the author shows the intrinsic contradictions deriving from too unprecise approach to the principles of Hegel’s dialectic, especially his principle of the negation and negation of negation. Similarly the Altizer’s interpretation on the death of God in term s of Blake, as self-annihilation, does not bear a critical examination in view of the analysis of this poet s works. For B lake attributes this term of self-annihilation to a hum an being ,to his „ghostly” existence, but not to God. In like manner the attempt to maintain the death of God event in Nietzsche’s philosophy term s proved to be unsuccessful, and an analogy between Jesus and Zaratustra is without any evidence, according to the author. In concluding the author makes some general observations on possibility and usefulness of using the extratheological sources in the theological reflections.plCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychThomas J.
