摘要：Heidegger's question �How does the god enter philosophy?�, has been echoing and re-echoing in theology so incessantly it may be said to have acquired something like the authority of tradition.�The�author argues, first, that the terms in which the critique of ontotheology is framed threaten to evacuate the substance and seriousness of theology ironically by �absolutizing� the reason it seeks to chasten in relation to faith. Second, avoiding the problem of absolutizing human reason requires the reversal of Heidegger�s question, which paradoxically turns out to accord a �certain kind� of primacy to metaphysics. The following paper gives a brief statement of Heidegger�s critique, sketches three potential dangers of that critique, and then suggests how Balthasar�s �metaphysics with a theological point of departure� offers a way to avoid those dangers.
