Abstracts

The author addresses the present-day challenge to theology involving a philosophical turn to Realism and its critique of Constructivism and Postmodernism. The author welcomes this critique. He also points out the benefits of radical Constructivism which have been directed toward theology but have not yet been fully utilized. He presents two successful (in his opinion) German attempts to apply Constructivism to theology. The author believes that a Constructivism free of erroneous ideological assumptions is permanently suitable as a methodology for the study of the obviously designed social phenomena. This reasoning is supported in the author’s exploration of the theology of tradition. In the final section, the author makes mention of the main initiatives that New Realism offers for theology, for example in the area of a dialogue between theology and science, the restoration of metaphysics and ontology, and the theological concept of truth, which could include perspectivity and contextuality of cognition into a realistic position.
