In his
earliest monograph, the Speeches, he famously writes that
"religion's essence is neither thinking nor acting but intuition and
feeling." He portrays religious feeling as an eternal and universal state
of consciousness, which cannot be generated by individuals, the world or
anything within it, but must have a transcendent "whence", namely God. Yet
his critics have often missed this point, assuming that his emphasis on
feeling makes religion transitory and individualistic. This
misinterpretation is furthered by philosophical, psychological,
anthropological and popular understandings of feeling, which characterise
emotions as selfish and moods as inward looking.This book traces
the development of Schleiermacher's concept of feeling, comparing the
first edition of the Speeches with his later works, especially The
Christian Faith. It points to a fundamental continuity in
Schleiermacher's stance, despite the increasing orthodoxy of his language,
and his growing interest in the collective feeling of the religious
community. Taking account of recent developments in psychology and
philosophy, this study sheds light on the elements of Schleiermacher's
account that are tenable today, clearing the way for future reappraisals
of his theological project. | Aggiungi al Carrello |
