Abstract

Tillich’s reflections on ethics and morality included reflections on their connec- tion with religion. His conclusion is that morality is the essence of religion, and that theological ethics should be present in every part of systematic theology. In this respect, Tillich accentuates the religious dimension of the moral imperative, the religious sources of moral demands, and the religious elements in moral motivation. It can be observed that the application of ethical principles as laid out by Tillich creates a solid network within the social community, and any deviation from the set constellation represents a weakening of that network. We wanted to prove this with our empirical research.
