ABSTRACT

Tillich and Jung have made significant contributions to various facets of contemporary culture. Both make a substantial contribution to the theory of education and especially religious education. Both also present a critique of science and technology based on the danger of the reduction of humanity’s cognitive sensitivity to the scientific and technological. Tillich’s critique of science/technology is in profound sympathy with Jung’s perception that the post-Enlightenment West had lost touch with the deepest dimension of the psyche from which the legitimate, universal and valuable religious sensitivity rises to consciousness. The final chapters expose and amplify what both have contributed in these areas.
