Abstracts

EN

This study analyses one of the aspects of J. B. Metz´s political theology, more precisely its anthropological aspect; it contrasts the means and objectives of the political theology with the "non-political politics". Political theology itself is one of the unofficial branches of the present-day Catholic theology; theology after the Second Vatican Council. It distinguishes itself critically from the neo-tomistic interpretation of the world – from the neo-tomistic metaphysics which depicts the world in the dichotomy of the good God and the evil human. Political theology at the background of Kant´s criticism of ontotheology emphasizes „sinful“, ordinary people and their world. It aims to construct a unified world without the superstructure of the religious supernatural; it treats man as a subject that thinks god and is his partner at the transformation of the world. According to J.B. Metz, the anamnestic reason, memoria passions, is the tool for the transformation of the world = the uncompleted Enlightenment project.
