"The Concept of 'the Human' in the Work of Hermann Hesse and Paul Tillich" is an interdisciplinary study in theology and literature. Three chapters each on Hesse and Tillich discuss the life work, and critical significance of both men. The seventh chapter compares their similarities and their contrasting views. In his work Hermann Hesse singles out the artist as the best example of true personhood and believes that individuals become fully human by being aesthetes, possessing ironic humor, learning to love unconditionally, expressing themselves while at play, transcending themselves through magical thinking, i.e., bringing into harmony the polarities of life, and finally, by assuming ethical responsibility for life to the point of sacrificial service. In the work of Paul Tillich existential man experiences estrangement, but essential man possesses a vision of wholeness and therefore of potentiality. However, maturity is to be found in becoming reconciled. Jesus as the Christ is the New Being who reunites man with God, Sanctification describes what it means to be fully human, and participation in a theonomous culture requires that one help make human life more human for others. The final chapter compares the life and work of Hesse and Tillich and concludes; both men have a tripartite view of human nature, they recognize the ambiguities of life as well as the demonic element in man, perfection is beyond an individual's grasp hut fulfillment is not, and both men are humanists who oppose dehumanization. They differ in that Tillich is more interested in ontology than in psychology, Hesse stresses self-realisation, whereas Tillich: stresses becoming whole by way of reunion with Being-itself. Hesse appreciates the aesthetic and ethical stages of life but lacks Tillich's emphasis on the depth dimension. Hesse's answer to the human situation is autonomous rather than theonomous as advocated by Tillich. The implications of both Hesse's and Tillich's thought include the following: becoming fully; human is a lifelong process; man is most human when he reflects his best self or the image of God; being human must address itself to the perennial problems of man (sin, suffering, and death); anthropology rather than dogmatic theology is the arena in which the theological enterprise should take placer and finally. the contemporary church needs to be aware of the necessity for both personal religious experience and social action.

Para tanto, o corpus utilizado constituiu-se de fontes primárias recolhidas nas bibliotecas e acervos das cidades de Assis, Marília, Campinas e São Paulo, bem como nos meios eletrônicos (Internet) - nos sites de buscas e outros relacionados ao banco de dados virtuais de acervos afins. Os textos consultados, referentes a Hesse e sua obra, abrangem o período de 1935 até 2005. Trata-se, portanto, de averiguar em que circunstâncias ocorreu o encontro entre a literatura hesseana e os leitores brasileiros, representados pelos jornalistas e pesquisadores acadêmicos, destacando as tendências e as contribuições mais relevantes da crítica em meio a história da leitura de Hesse no Brasil. Como eixo norteador da pesquisa foi elaborada uma lista bibliográfica comentada que permite uma visão circunstanciada de todos os textos localizados. A pesquisa também consta de transcrição dos textos publicados em jornais e revistas informativos de acesso restrito. Ao reunir a bibliografia sobre o escritor, procurou-se ampliar o conhecimento sobre a literatura hesseana e possibilitar o surgimento de novos estudos. / This text is about collecting and thinking over Hermann Hesse's reception in Brazil seeking to verify the importance that's been given by the Brazilian critic to him, specially in the state of São Paulo. For this, the corpus used has been built from primary sources collected in the libraries and collection from the cities of Assis, Marilia, Campinas and São Paulo, as well as through electronic methods (internet) - in the sites of searching and others related to the virtual data of collections. The consulted texts, referring to Hesse and all his work, involve the period from 1935 to 2005. This is all about verifying then in which circumstances occurred this encounter between the Hesse's literature and the Brazilian readers, represented by the journalists and academic researchers emphasizing the tendencies and the most important contributions of the critic concerning the story of Hesse's reading in Brazil. As guiding axis of this research a bibliographic list with comments has been made allowing a circumstanced view concerning all the texts found. The research also contains transcription of the texts published in newspapers and magazines which have its access restricted. When reunited the bibliography about the writer, the knowledge concerning Hesse's literature has been increased making possible the appearance of new studies.
