In our literature, following Professor D. Ugrinovich, it is still customary to divide religious studies into theoretical and historical ones. It even found its name in the name of some religious departments, institutes. We will not discuss here the issue of the legitimacy of such a division. To me, the philosophy of religion is one of the disciplinary entities of religious studies, as is the history of religion. The main specificity of religious studies (as opposed to the study of religious phenomena by individual sciences) is that it studies religion not as a whole, but as a whole, in the organic totality of all its components and functions. Religion appears to him not as a static phenomenon, but as a dynamic phenomenon. The subject of religious studies is a functioning religion, and this functioning occurs through the interaction and interplay of all its components, and not with the absolute extinction of something in it in the change of historical eras, because religion has a prehistoric meaning.

A obra de Paul Tillich é fortemente influenciada pela filosofia de Friedrich Schelling. O doutorado em Filosofia de Tillich, defendido em 1910 na Universidade de Breslau evidencia seu interesse nesse autor. Intitulado “A história da religião na Filosofia Positiva de Schelling”, a tese de 1910 só foi publicada em 1974, em inglês, com tradução de Victor Nuovo. Embora seja um texto de juventude, nele se enuncia um estilo de escrita que acompanhará o posterior amadurecimento de Tillich, bem como temas que serão aprofundados ao longo de sua trajetória, tais como a importância da história, da mitologia, a busca por identidade, o símbolo da queda, a encarnação e a profundidade da mensagem cristã como revelação da possibilidade de harmonização entre o ser humano e o Absoluto. O presente artigo apresenta um resumo dessa tese, com considerações pontuais que identificam elementos que posteriormente serão desenvolvidos por Tillich, e é resultado de um projeto de IC (Iniciação Científica) coordenado pelo autor principal e acompanhado pelo discente que providenciou a tradução da tese de 1910.Abstract The work of Paul Tillich is strongly influenced by the philosophy of Friedrich Schelling. Tillich’s doctorate in philosophy, defended in 1910 at the University of Breslau evidences his interest in this author. Entitled "The History of Religion in Schelling's Positive Philosophy," the 1910 thesis was only published in 1974, in English, with translation by Victor Nuovo. Although it is a text of his youth, it already enunciates a style of writing that will accompany the later maturation of Tillich’s work, with themes that will be deepened along his trajectory, such as the importance of history, mythology, the search for identity, the symbol of the fall, the incarnation and depth of the Christian message as revelation of the possibility of harmonization between humanity and the Absolute. The present article presents a summary of Tillich’s thesis, with specific considerations that identify elements that will later be developed by Tillich, and is the result of an IC project (Scientific Initiation) coordinated by the main author of this article and accompanied by the student who provided the translation of the 1910 thesis.

An important problem of religious studies, the history of religion as a branch of knowledge is the periodization process of the development of religious phenomenon. It is precisely here, as in focus, that the question of the essence and meaning of the religious development of the human being of the world, the origin of beliefs and cult, the reasons for the changes in them, the place and role of religion in the social and spiritual process, etc., are converging.

In several late texts, Derrida meditated on Paul Celan's poem ‘Grosse, Glühende Wölbung’, in which the departure of the world is announced. Delving into the ‘origin’ and ‘history’ of the ‘conception’ of the world, this paper suggests that, for Derrida, the end of the world is determined by and from death—the death of the other. The death of the other marks, each and every time, the absolute end of the world.
