Ebook: 200 Jahre "Reden über die Religion": Akten des 1. Internationalen Kongresses der Schleiermacher-Gesellschaft, Halle, 14.-17. März 1999. Anhang: Spalding, Johann Joachim. Religion, eine Angelegenheit des Menschen. Leipzig 1797

This volume contains contributions delivered at the 1st International Convention of the Schleiermacher Society. They are dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the publication of the Reden über die Religion, Friedrich Schleiermacher’s early major work on the philosophy of religion.

Schleiermacher’s Reden über die Religion are located within the range of the late Enlightenment and idealism, theology and early Romanticism. The contributions deal both with questions regarding the history of problems and with theoretical perspectives. Intellectual philosophy, ethics and cultural theory form the systematic framework of the concept of religion. The thematic variety of the motifs which are referred to in the Reden thus can only be made accessible through interdisciplinary research ‑ an insight which this convention volume demonstrates through its fruitful results.
