No. How about St. Anselm's Fides quaerens intellectum. Most Catholic =
theology in particular is carried out in the firm conviction that the =
two belong together. Some is even carried out as if they were the same.
And to Chris Rickey,
The references in Nietzsche and the Einfuehrung are numerous. They're =
not difficult to find, and I don't have time to look them up, I'm =
afraid.
I don't know of the Italian salad quote, nor where and when he believed =
Catholics needed exterminating, though he did throw some Jesuits out of =
his lectures in the thirties. The reasons for this are, I suspect, =
quite complex, if you recall what he has to say about the Jesuit Order =
in relation to works of art.
To avoid Italian Salads and other seductive dishes whose actual eating =
might deliver less than their immediate visual appeal promises, I wonder =
if we might consider the more gristly fare of what is actually going on =
in Heidegger's understanding of God (harder to chew on but more =
nourishing in the end).
For Heidegger, the proposition (for those who might have trouble with =
Heidegger and propositions, I refer them to Zur Sache des Denkens, in =
particular the last paragraph on p. 25)
"God does not exist"
speaks only of existence and says nothing whatever of God. This is less =
cryptic (though no less demanding) than it seems if one bears in mind =
that, for instance, for Eckhart one can speak of God's essence, but that =
he held God did not exist.
Heidegger is a philosopher of *existence* - is this why he does not =
undertake a *theology* (of God)? Here the very term "atheism" breaks =
down. "Atheism" is perhaps no more than a further determination of =
onto-theo-logy. But then it would be, wouldn't it?
To undertake the "step back" and so to move out of onto-theo-logy would =
mean to cease to work with terms like "atheism" "theism" etc, but does =
it therefore mean to cease to have faith or to bring oneself into =
faithful proximity with Christian revelation?
Perhaps one should keep firmly in one's mind that the Heidegger who will =
not undertake a theology never stops speaking of God throughout his =
lectures and works.=20
