Abstract

The paper is a cross-cultural critique on  how God is conceived in the works of two Existentialist Philosophers: Karl Jaspers and Heidegger (their convergence and divergences), and how we might disconceive both.

And there is reference via Jaspers to Faith (since I am a Fellow of the College of the All Souls of the Faithful Departed, in Oxford), I am interested in this issue: both in respect of faith, the departed, and perhaps the yet-to-be, posthuman and postdivine.
