Abstract
RESTREPO, Carlos Enrique. THE DEATH OF GOD AND THE THEOLOGYCAL ISSUE. Eidos [online]. 2008, n.8, pp.182-194. ISSN 1692-8857.
Heideggerian interpretation of the "Death of God" that not only includes Nietzsche, but the whole modern philosophy, it entails the essential importance of a movement according to which Metaphysics is overcome. In Heidegger's words, after Nietzsche "the only road for Philosophy is its perversion and denaturalization, so we have no other alternatives in view for her". This overcoming indicates the consummation of Onto-Theology like fundamental mark of Metaphysics, of which Hegel offers his more radical interpretation when he thinks the absolute one as concept. This way, the "Death of God" it means, according to Jean-Luc Marion's denomination, the "idolatry of concept". This paper examines the "Death of God" in the light of the postulate of Onto-Theology as Essence of Metaphysics, and in the line of a overcoming of idolatry, with the purpose of resuming the divinity in the contemporary thought.
