Abstract

This is a study of the figure of the ‘last God’ as it appears in Martin Heidegger's Beiträge zur Philosophie. In what sense is this figure related to philosophy of religion as traditionally understood? It is certainly closely related to the question of the relation of time and eternity. Heidegger's earliest accounts of the relation between time and eternity are examined, and Heidegger's reflections in the Beitrage are examined in the context of the accusation of ‘theosophy’ which Heidegger levels against the most prominent of the ancient thinkers of time and eternity, namely Plotinus.
