Abstract
Although Moltmann’s works appear to be less philosophically nuanced than those of other contemporary German thinkers, this article articulates the proximity of his thought to thinkers like Bloch and Ricoeur, and traces his philosophical influences to German idealism. Apart from shaping his own post-Hegelian Kantianism, like Ricoeur, Moltmann absorbed ideas from the Blumhardts, who according to Moltmann were both “theologians of hope.” Moltmann’s work can be read as the shaping of a theology of the Spirit with a Messianic ecclesiology open to all that offers meaningful inspiration to the construction of a public theology for East Asia.
