Schleiermacher's Speeches. About religion. Second edition. Berlin 1806, has never been reprinted. The book is completely forgotten. But it can be seen as a new draft in which the author, who has now become a professor of theology and philosophy in Halle, reacts to the latest developments in philosophy (Fichte, Schelling, Hegel). This is done through multiple exchanges of terms and the insertion of completely revised parts. The new edition is intended to provide a philosophical clarification of the relationship between religion and philosophy. The question arises as to whether Schleiermacher merely gave a nuance or a fundamental change in his view of the nature of religion. This question can only be decided by reading the entire newly edited book. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Conceptually, humility has gained attention not only in the public sphere but also within theology and philosophy. On a phenomenological basis, the article examines relevant experiences of being human that allow a definition and suggest what might be meant by „humility" at present. The analyzed connection between feeling and normativity aims to clarify the extent to which those concerned also incorporate humility into their way of life in the long term, beyond the decisive experiences. The explanations touch on a similar understanding of the concept as, for example, Schleiermacher, Ritschl, Herrmann or Otto have put forward, but at the same time would like to show to what extent humility could also be understood differently than in the traditional Christian sense. The study presents an alternative phenomenological reading that seeks to offer a grounded analysis of experience to support the fruitful theological discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: The relationship between Fichte's WL (1801/02) and Schleiermacher's Reden (1799/1806) has been hotly debated. This paper considers the influence of Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre on Schleiermacher to be unsound. It will point out that there are different models of the relation between feeling and the absolute in Fichte and in Schleiermacher: Fichte treats the "feeling of dependence" on the Absolute or on absolute being as a self-annihilation of formal freedom, while according to Schleiermacher the individual is united with the absolute in feeling.

Der vorliegende Beitrag erörtert das Verhältnis einer Philo-sophie der Person zur Religionsphilosophie bzw. einer Philosophie religiöser Phänomene. Dabei soll die These vertreten werden, dass der personale Lebenszusammenhang bestimmte Phänomene aufweist, die nur in einem religiösen Kontext adäquat verstanden werden können. Die Interpretation dieser Phänomene kann einen Zugang zu bestimmten Aspekten von Personalität ermöglichen, die von den meisten Persontheorien der Gegenwart kaum beachtet werden. Summary: The aim of this paper is to point out and discuss a possible connection between a theory of person and a philosophy of religion. It argues that a broader perspective on personhood and personal life would bring up a variety of phenomena which require a religious context for their proper understanding. The interpretation of these phenomena might disclose a new access to certain aspects of personhood that have been disregarded by more common theories of person. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
