Summary
“Onto-theo-logy” is the name for any discipline that intertwines ontological and theological approaches – by, for instance, accounting for entities in general through their ground in the highest being, or understanding God in terms of entities. Heidegger uses the term onto-theo-logy (variously hyphenated by Heidegger himself) to indicate that there is no basic division between philosophy and theology in the Western metaphysical tradition. Philosophy, approaching the question of being by means of a certain conception of logic, is, in the end, theological, whilst theology itself has typically remained tied to metaphysical assumptions derived from philosophy.
