In his massive three volume work Philosophy, he devotes a volume to three different modes of being: orientation, existence, and metaphysical transcendence, the last of which cannot be gained via positive or empirical methods but only through an engagement with the "ciphers of transcendence.

He was critical of Bultmann's hermeneutical method of scriptural de- mythologization arguing that it unfairly introduced a "false rationalism" in religion, instead arguing for a "philosophical faith," in such works as Philosophical Faith in Face of Christian Revelation. He outlines a typology of mental attitudes based on a fundamental division which he called the Subjekt- Objeckt-Spaltung, in his work The Psychology of World Views. One work offers that for the Holocaust that while there exists collective liability there ought not to exist collective guilt in The Question of German Guilt. He ascribes to the period from 800-200BCE as the time that the initial development of the basic categories of human self-understanding, in China, India and West occurred in his work The Origin and Goal of History. For 10 points, name this German philosopher and theologian who coined the term the "Axial Age."
