During 1804-05 and 1805-06, while teaching at the University of Halle, Friedrich Schleiermacher lectured twice on philosophical ethics. From the first lectures only his notes on the theory of virtue are extant. In 1805-1806, however, we have his own dense notes covering 98 hours of lectures. He planned to revise this (Brouillon zur ethik) for publication, a project which was never completed. But these Halle lectures reveal for the first time the details of his distinctive approach to ethics as a philosophy of culture. In these lectures he presents ethics as the critical examination of reason embodied in selves in community. This translation makes available in English the first systematic presentation of his ethics as an inclusive vision of cultural goods, virtues and duties.

An English translation of Friedrich Schleiermacher’s work on Spinozian philosophy. His translations represent a hermeneutical approach to translations and reveal an interpretation based on an extremely close reading of the text. It alleviates some of the improper usages of terms in the previous translations of Spinoza.

Volume contains fifteen extant sermons and four extant sermon outlines that span a period of 43 years, from 1791 to 1834. What marks these sermons as special is not only their timing and context but also their finding ways to anticipate a conjoining of more general (secular) and religious Christian actions and their corresponding points of view. The study also contains a brief review of To Cecilie, On What Gives Value to Life, the Soliloquies, and Christmas Eve: A Dialogue, works written within the time frame of the first five New Year Sermons. These works offer insight into Schleiermacher’s appreciation of human frailty, of moral development, and enhance the readings of the New Year sermons

These items are translated here for the first time, eight from German (by Nicol) and one from Latin (the 1817 "Oratio" by Terrence Tice). Together they represent Schleiermacher at his ecclesial best: as epoch-making interpreter of creeds and confessions, as engaging preacher to a worshipping community, as university scholar in service of the church (as he emphasizes the 16th century Reformers were), as official leader, as critically minded student of tradition, as sharp but loving debater on crucial issues, and as advocate of Christian community and church union.

Awarded the Adele Mellen Prize for Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship Addresses the question of why Schleiermacher never completed the two final parts of his work, Essay on a Theory of Sociable Behavior, the first two parts of which were published in the 1799 January and February editions of Berlinisches Archiv der Zeit und ihres Geschmacks. The author’s argument is persuasive that it was never completed because Schleiermacher made the move from an understanding of sociability that was secular to a much fuller understanding of sociability as religious.

This work critically examines Karl Barth's use and criticism of the concept of religion with special reference to the 19th century Liberal approach which he seeks to overcome. The inquiry uncovers a hitherto unnoticed fundamental dependency of Barth on this Liberal background, and on Schleiermacher, its chief proponent. This dependency is able to explain Barth's perplexing and much discussed ambiguity towards the concept of religion. The study also investigates the potential for an alternative approach based on Barth's mature theology and finds an undercurrent in his thinking which proves to be a fruitful contribution in the current debate over a viable `theology of religions.'

Argues that religious communities and individual religious experiences are inextricably linked: that one cannot be had without the other. Of specific interest is the way in which religious communities provide the context within which religious experiences can be interpreted and understood. By utilizing the work of Schleiermacher and Royce, the primary role of the religious community in the interpretation of religious experience is demonstrated.

In this study sin is portrayed as a determinate feature of human life, known in Schleiermacher's terms to be real precisely because it constitutes a full actualized "state" of self-consciousness, which can be distinctly located in the developmental course of life as a "stage", with states lying before and after it. Sin is just as signal a reality as is any other state of human life, because it is one "actual form" in which are conjointly actualized the potentiating elements of God- and world-consciousness.
