. . . . but Tillich seems to struggle so mightily with the question of the foundations of our being that I would think that the post-modernists would have to wrestle just as hard to dismiss his premises.

Yes, great question and it would appear to be so. Though the word "dismiss" is a bit strong.

If you take Richard Rorty as one of the best illustrations of post modernist thought, his writings reveal a constant conversation with Heidegger, from which Tillich worked out the "ground of being" argument. So all of this is linked.

Rorty struggled with the religious question in his writing. Constantly. And was in conversation with theologians. I have a volume on my shelf I plan to read when I get the time entitled The Future of Religion co-authored by Rorty and Gianni Vattimo, an Italian theologian/philosopher of religion.
