This article aims to treat the uniqueness of religious thought as a subject
of reflection by reference to Martin Heidegger’s philosophy since
his views incorporate such a deeply rooted analysis. In pursuing the
subject the article inquiries into the possibility of a non-metaphysical
religious mode of thought in considering Heidegger’s critique of traditional
Western metaphysics, his assessments on the onto-theological
and humanistic character of metaphysics, and his evaluations on the
meaning of true thinking pursuant to the mode of thought he calls ontological.
With regard to our assessments of religious thought, we
take Heidegger’s onto-theological criticisms as a point of departure.
However, considering his philosophy and manner of thinking, we try
to reveal what kind of possibilities the Heideggerian view can provide
us in terms of religious thinking. Therefore, it is important that our assessments
of religious thought not be interpreted as identical to
Heidegger’s philosophy but rather as ideas that he might have potentially
incorporated into his own philosophy.
