Abstract

This paper proposed the philosopher Heidegger and theology Rahner, how to understand the philosophy - God, and God - philosophy-related issues, and reflect on the similarities and differences between the two points. About 1916, the sea's life and ideas sprouted significant changes; after, said his philosophy as "non-divine philosophy." However, the philosophy is not "atheism", but "thinking of sincerity" of the attitude. Finally, heć•Žreturn to God, that people want to identify: "Only a god can save us." This information is life-long search for truth of a mystery. Pull the inner context of modern theology, the intention to explore the question: nature and grace, as though separate, but it is the interaction of people from the same source, the nature of the grace period makes successful; related to philosophy and theology so too. And who is to experience and to establish the relationship between reason and faith in the subject. His life is constantly in a closed and open in the choice, so caught up in the context of absolute self. In La Neiti and "philosophy of evil", and "people have an infinite capacity" aspirations. Hay and Rumsfeld both attach importance to human treatment philosophy - issues related to the subject of God. Therefore, they emphasize the importance and the end of the world point of view. Indeed, the differences are obvious; however, interpreted it as the opposite of seeking truth of tension: it is the opposite direction or from the bottom up or the truth of the same trend can be described as the same thing. The article concerns the question how philosophy and theology relates to each other, as Heidegger elaborates from the point of philosophy and Rahner considers from the view of theology. Heidegger's "atheistic philosophy" is a consequence of taking distance from closed system. He understands philosophy however as "Piety of Thinking", because he is continuously inspired by religious problematic. His last message as a returned Catholic is: "Only God can save us" as sign of enigmatic life of searching for the truth. Rahner elaborates the problem in modern theological context: just as nature and grace root in the same source, so do philosophy and theology. Human being is "Spirit in the World" which experiences and regulates the relationship between reason and faith. He is living in constant choice between closure and openess. Here Rahner speaks of "sin" not only in theology, but also in philosophy, when they are absoluted themselves. Just as Rahner pleads for pluralistic theology, he also thinks that no one philosophy can be the partner of theology. Consequently, any philosophy, especially suitable for requirements of modern time is estimated as partners of theological thinking. Heidegger and Rahner both take human being seriously as subject of regulation of relationship between philosophy and theology. Both stand for opening and eschatological view. Their difference could be seen as strike for the truth at the same path, from below and from above. It requires us to take this problematic seriously for ourselves
