Zur Logik des Christentums : eine philosophische Grundlegung ökumenischen Denkens im Ausgang von Anselm von Canterbury
Highlighting the (often ignored) link between "Cur Deus homo" and "Proslogion", the thesis examines the ‘logic of Christianity’ Anselm of Canterbury seeks to demonstrate in an inter-religious context; his atonement theory is not necessarily a result of an ill-conceived religious image of God but rather can be seen to follow from a heightened ontological awareness regarding the conceivability of the God-world relationship; his philosophical theology informs his soteriology. Yet, his attempt to think God’s justice and love together remains aporetic. The thesis further explores the (allegedly) ‘a priori’ character of the ‘ontological argument’ and proposes – pointing out the a posteriori dimensions in the conceptual genesis of Anselm’s theology – a cosmological reconstruction of the unum argumentum, thus arguing for a different answer to the problem Anselm tries to solve in CDH by postulating the necessary death of Christ on the cross.

Our critique of Anselm’s God-concept (philosophical and biblical ‘unfittingness’) provides the philosophical groundwork for an alternative, ecumenical, Christian logic of the unconditional: from unconditional being to unconditional love, so that the all-creator is also the all-embracing, all-sustaining, all-redeeming father-God; and unconditional love demands: a review of the religion-morality-relationship (‘Christian Overman’), unconditional ecumenism, and a lived ethos of universal humanity.
