An Analysis of Friedrich Schleiermacher's On Religion
On Religion is a major text for the development of modern religious thought in the West, and its author, German theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher, is remembered as the Father of Modern Protestant Theology. He is also noted for his contributions to philosophy, ethics, and hermeneutics.
Comprising five lively speeches, which defend religion as a universal element of human life, the text was addressed to the young intellectual elite of early nineteenth-century Berlin. It demonstrates Schleiermacherâs critique of Kantâs religious and moral thought, while also showing his indebtedness to the divergent movements of Enlightenment rationalism and Romanticism.
