Abstract
Abstract In Act and Being Bonhoeffer provides what he calls a “typological sketch” of philosophers and philosophical theologians from both transcendental and ontological traditions as a means of evaluating their significance for theology. Among the representative figures of transcendental thought, Bonhoeffer discusses Hermann Cohen, Paul Natorp, Friedrich Brunstäd, and Reinhold Seeberg; from ontology, Edmund Husserl, Max Scheler, Martin Heidegger, and Erich Przywara. Readers looking for detailed theological analyses of these seminal thinkers will be disappointed. Bonhoeffer’s purposes are twofold: first, to locate philosophical themes which can be applied to the theological project of reconciling concepts of act and being in a Christian reflection on God and revelation,1 and, second, to show how philosophy can be taken into the service of explicating the secondary objectivity of revelation, that is, the worldliness of revelation.
