Filosofia e teologia em Friedrich Schleiermacher: a teoria do sentimento como ponto de inflexão dos princípios da dialética e da dogmática

Abstract

The following research aims at investigating the principles of the Dialectics and the Dogmatics of the German thinker Friedrich D. E. Schleiermacher (1768-1834). Conceived in its widest perspective, Schleiermacher’s work involves the question regarding the relationship between philosophy and theology as well as their proper place within his system of sciences. Insofar as Schleiermacher’s theory of feeling constitutes an analysis of the ultimate ground of the immediate self-consciousness’ structure, by means of which both the unity of the subjectivity and the general principles of knowing are articulated, our study defends the theory of feeling as a possible point of inflection in the relationship between philosophy and theology. In order to achieve the intentions proposed here we will be subdividing this research in three chapters, each one of which is based on three different works by Schleiermacher. The first one analyses the early theory of religion as developed by Schleiermacher in his Reden (1799). The two following chapters are focused on his mature thought, namely, his Vorlesungen über die Dialektik (1811/31), where he develops a philosophical system of sciences as such, and his Introduction to the Glaubenslehre, where the theological development of the concept of piety takes place.
