95 years and a new work: Wucherer-Huldenfeld inspires in Vienna!

Wien, Österreich - Vienna, February 13, 2025-the renowned philosopher and priest Augustinus Karl Wucherer-Huldenfeld, a central figure of the Austrian Christian Philosophy, presented his new book at the University of Vienna. The 720 -page band entitled "Returns. Need, possibility and the meaning of a phenomenological possession of the 'existence' of God from the original experience" is the third work in his series "Philosophical Theology in Breaking", which he began in 2011. Wucherer-Huldenfeld, which is now a proud 95 years old, attracted a highly interested audience, including high-ranking church representatives such as the Salzburg Archbishop Franz Lackner and the Viennese Auxiliary Bishop Franz Scharl, like kathpress.at reported.

a life for philosophy and theology

Wucherer-Huldenfeld, born on July 1, 1929 in Gleinstätten, is known for his profound work in religious philosophy and atheism research. After his ordination in 1961, from 1974 to 1997 he took over the management of the Institute for Christian Philosophy at the University of Vienna, where he shaped many students, including the talented Erwin Waldschütz. Already in his introduction to the book presentation, he emphasized that the existential experience of being as a "miracle of all miracles" forms a central basis for his faith. This insight that he gained at an atheist at a young age is the focus of his philosophical considerations and offers a deeper appreciation of the experience of God, such as de.wikipedia added.

Wucherer-Huldenfeld's work was recognized by the philosopher Prof. Johann Schelkshorn as an important element in an increasingly secular world. He described the philosopher as a "plant in the secular and church world", whose approach to philosophy and theology demands a renewal of great topicality. The outstanding philosopher Markus Riedenauer explained that Wucherer-Huldenfeld's methods are similar to the approach of an "archaeologist" who picks up old ways of thinking in order to make them relevant for modern times. His clear argument and access to experiences of God are refreshing and ready for the renewal of Christian philosophy.
