The Schleiermacher-Archiv primarily acts as a supporting publication for the Gesamtausgabe der Werke Friedrich Schleiermachers (KGA) published since 1980. The archive publishes material and studies with close links to the KGA. Anthologies also record papers presented at – or produced in conjunction with – international Schleiermacher congresses.
Sebastian Rink examines Friedrich Schleiermacher’s concept of eternity by looking at his sermons. To do so, he utilizes and develops methods of digitally supported text analysis tailored to theological application. This reveals previously invisible developments and interconnections throughout Schleiermacher’s oeuvre. The volume also inquires into the relationship between academic theology and homiletic practice.
Friedrich Schleiermacher was a central figure of intellectual life in Berlin at the beginning of the 19th century. He was an important protagonist in the Prussian reform process. The volume is devoted to Schleiermacher's thought and work, especially in the second decade, the decisive years during and after the wars of liberation, and contours his position during the transition from reform to restoration in individual interdisciplinary highlights.
The proceedings of the 2021 International Schleiermacher Congress examine philosopher, theologian, pedagogue, translator, and education reformer Friedrich Schleiermacher as a communication theorist. Whether as a university teacher, pulpit orator, political reformer, journalist, frequenter of salons, or letter writer – Schleiermacher was a gifted communicator, and many central aspects of his thinking come together in the concept of communication.
This interdisciplinary study introduces readers to Friedrich Schleiermacher’s diverse pathways of reflection and creative practice that are related to the field of translation. By drawing attention to Schleiermacher’s various writings on a range of subjects (including philology, criticism, hermeneutics, dialectics, rhetoric and religion), the author makes it clear that the frequently cited lecture Über die verschiedenen Methoden des Übersetzens (On the Different Methods of Translating) represents but a fraction of Schleiermacher’s contributions to modern-day insights into translation. The analysis of Schleiermacher’s various pathways of reflection on translation presented in this book leads to the conclusion that translation is part of the essence of the world, as it is a fundamental tool of our cognition and a foundation of our existence. In Schleiermacher’s works, transfer, translation, mediation, and communication underpin our very existence in the world and our self-awareness. At the same time, they represent fundamental categories for a project that focuses on the consolidation and assimilation – through translation – of that which is foreign, different, diverse.
This edited volume brings together studies on the philosophy of German idealism, the theology of modernity, and topics of philosophical and theological ethics, which are connected by the hermeneutic question of whether Christian faith still has a meaningful function in the present.
Understanding is not self-evident. Florian Priesemuth traces Friedrich Schleiermacher’s hermeneutics back to his philosophy of language and, following Schleiermacher, suggests an impetus for different areas of theological hermeneutics.
Schleiermacher viewed religion and individuality as having an interior referential relationship. This is a major element in the early Romantic phase of his work. But in his later work as well, he revisited, deepened, and accentuated this multidimensional theme in his philosophical ethics, read today as cultural theory. In fact, there is a deep continuity between these two historical phases of his work despite different nuances of emphasis.
Schleiermacher’s religious writings and sermons are both a theoretical unfolding and literary-rhetorical perfection of religious communication. Mirjam Sauer examines both aspects. In the light of early Romantic literary works and late-Enlightenment sermons, she interprets the models of communication developed as contributions to a theology of religious speech at the threshold of modernity.
Die Beiträge dieses Bandes gehen auf zwei Veranstaltungen anlässlich Friedrich Schleiermachers 250. Geburtstag 2018 zurück: die Reformierte Sommeruniversität vom 19. bis 24. August in Münster und das Reformierte Forum am 16. und 17. November 2018 in Halle. Im Fokus steht die Frage nach Schleiermachers reformierter Theologie in Verbindung mit seinem Streben nach einer Union der protestantischen Konfessionen.
The volume presents the records of the 2017 Schleiermacher Society on the theme “Reformation and Modernity.” They present Schleiermacher not only as a thinker on the translation of the Reformation legacy into modernity, but also as a thinker on interrelationships between other areas of sociocultural life, including social behavior, politics, art, and philosophy.
Friedrich Schleiermacher’s notion of humanity brought together diverse elements. The essays in this conference transcript focus particularly on the subjective dimensions of individual life, as symbolized by the concept of the soul. Interdisciplinary contributors examine a broad range of self-relationships around the key tropes of Bildung, piety, and aesthetics, and explore their relevance to our times.
The aim of this volume is to assess Friedrich Schleiermacher’s contribution to the theory of translation two centuries after his address “On the Different Methods of Translating” at the Academy of Sciences in Berlin, and to explore its potential for generating future innovative work. For the first time this classic text forms the object of a focused, interdisciplinary approach. Scholars of philosophy and translation, working in English, French and German, provide a close reading of Schleiermacher’s lecture and combine their efforts in order to highlight the fundamental role translation plays in his hermeneutic thinking and the importance of hermeneutics for his theorisation of translation, within the historical and literary context of Romanticism. The various contributions revisit key concepts in Schleiermacher’s thought, in particular the famous metaphor of movement; examine the relation between his theoretical writings and his practice as translator of Plato, unearthing some of their philosophical and linguistic implications; discuss Schleiermacher’s reception in Germany and abroad; and assess the relevance of his ideas in the beginning of the 21st century as well as their potential to inspire further research in translation and interpreting.
Today, the subject of Christianity and Judaism can only be explored interdisciplinarily, with the participation of researchers from the disciplines of theology, religious studies, Jewish studies, literary studies, history and philosophy. All of these disciplines can contribute important perspectives on the position of Schleiermacher. This volume contains all of the papers presented to the conference plenum as well as to the three sections.
Friedrich Schleiermacher preached in the Reformed Church in Berlin from 1809 onwards. From 1812 up to 1828 he printed a special hymn sheet for each of his main services. But why? To answer this question it is necessary to undertake a systematic study of the hymn sheets, which are largely unknown. For this, the periodical for a whole year is presented with a commentary; the volume chosen is that for 1817, the first year that was dated throughout. It is preserved in its entirety with 31 hymn sheets. At the same time, the multi-faceted image of Schleiermacher presented by the KGA has an important new dimension added to it, that of Schleiermacher as a liturgist, hymnologist and publisher.
The volume contains the papers presented to the Schleiermacher Congress held in Berlin from 26th to 29th March 2006. The theme of the congress was “Christianity – State – Culture”, and it was organized by the International Schleiermacher Society in association with the Berlin Humboldt University Faculty of Theology and the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The appendix contains the first edition of a reconstruction of the confirmation instruction given by Schleiermacher in 1831/32.
This book examines Schleiermacher's theory of worship during his time as preacher at the "Dreifaltigkeitskirche" in Berlin from 1809 to 1829. Nine services are reconstructed by presenting the hymns, music, prayers and liturgy, and their theological and aesthetic coherence is discussed.
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.
