AB - In the era of the Anthropocene, marked by significant technological development, all existence faces a crisis. This paper explores the theological ethics of Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich through the lens of onto-theology to respond to this crisis. Both theologians sought to understand human subjectivity in a contemporary context, arguing that it should not be confined to individual self-recognition but should also encompass relationships. Niebuhr focused on theological ethics related to individuation, while Tillich emphasized theological thought on participation. This study explicitly investigates their discussions on the processes of individuation and participation. Ultimately, both theologians advocate for the ethics of love, presenting agape — divine love — as the foundation of their ethical concepts. This study examines onto-theology by exploring the concepts of individuation, participation, and the ethical implications of love (agape) as articulated by these two theologians.
