Paul Tillich' Encounter with the World Religions and the Emergence of a Cross-cultural Discourse Ethic (1954-1965)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During the 1960s and 1970s, amidst the struggle for civil rights, anti-war protests and liberation movements, few theologians and scholars of religion looked to Paul Tillich as someone who had something important to offer moral debates centred on race relations, gender equality, nuclear proliferation or grassroots revolutions. With a few exceptions, theologians and religious studies scholars since the 1980s have likewise tended to be reluctant to bring Tillich's sometimes abstract thought to bear on current social and political questions. In line with those who think that Tillich should be reread for his subtle and yet substantial contributions to ethics, and even to global politics, I contend that Tillich has much to offer thinkers of all stripes concerned with a world in which the global North has embraced economic globalization, prominent liberal academics such as Robert D. Kaplan, Michael Ignatieff and Samuel P. Huntington have promoted the theory that post-Cold-War conflicts will be primarily between ethnic groups and civilizations, a geopolitical situation in which the world's remaining superpower has developed a post-9/11 foreign policy of empire building, and, perhaps most seriously, a world in which ecological crises loom ever larger.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
