Wikipedia: "Paul Johannes Tillich (August 20, 1886 – October 22, 1965) was a German-American Christian existentialist philosopher and theologian. Tillich is widely regarded as one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century."
"There was a tremendous amount of disappointment that the First World War didn't make the world happy or mature for democracy, as the slogan was. Then the years before the Second World War were full of anxiety about the Hitler situation, the Communist situation. Then the American younger generation went into the Second World War and came out of it and the world looked darker than before, in this East-West split. As I sometimes say, the whole world was schizophrenic, which is a kind of medical disease in individuals, and I have the feeling mankind as a whole has this disease." - Paul Tillich.
