Abstract
Terry Eagleton's attention to theology and metaphysical issues is not a theology turn, for his thoughts on theology is not fully explicable in religious sense. God, for him, is a substitution for "essence." He insists that the postmodernists who deny the essence are actually essentialists with masks. Eagleton believes that the ultimate reason for human being is man itself, that is, the essence of mall. Essence, for him, is not common feature but the nature, and the nature is the form. The paper therefore argues that Aristotle's teleology has greatly influenced Eagleton.
