Influenced by feminist process theology, this article offers a difference‐oriented reconstruction of Paul Tillich's anthropology. The first section analyzes Tillich's anthropological reductionism at the “basis”( Grund ) of his unity‐oriented binary ontology and epistemology. The second section discloses Tillich's “reverse‐dynamics,” co‐present beside and despite of his anthropological “basis.” This concept of reverse‐dynamics prepares a new, pneumatologically and christologically deepened, “ground”( Grund ) for personhood and life as multidimensional.
