Description
Summary:This paper sought to demonstrate whether and how philosophy can be regarded as a reflective affirmation of the human ascent toward God, primarily through the lens of the concept of the „philosophical faith“. The objective was to elucidate the significance of Karl Jaspers’ philosophical thought for Bernhard Welte and to explore how the concept of the „philosophical faith“ complements that of the „religious faith.“ It has become evident that both concepts find their origin in the „Nameless“, as thought and faith ultimately emerge from and return to the same transcendent source. Through this perspective, we have identified the theological significance of Jaspers’ „philosophical faith“ for Bernhard Welte and its foundational role within his theological framework.
