Post-Hegelian Metaphysics

Jenson notes that Barth was not opposed to philosophy, but “refused to depend on the official philosophers because what they offered to do for him he thought he should do for himself, in conversation with them when that seemed likely to help.”

This leads Jenson to the striking claim that the Church Dogmatics “can be read as the first truly major system of Western metaphysics since the collapse Hegelianism.”
