Kritischer Religionsdiskurs

Zusatztext

In this volume, Ulrich Barth continues the series of his previous studies, "Religion in the Modern Age," (2003), "Enlightened Protestantism" (2004) and "God as a Project of Reason" (2005) and expands the perspectives he developed in them. Classic concepts from Luther to Tillich, Kant to Habermas - and in particular the epochal developments initiated by Schleiermacher - are analyzed in regard to their importance for the current discourse on the theory of religion. Content-related points of reference are terms such as soul and subject, mind and conscience, reason and feeling but also subjects such as church and society, Protestantism and the modern age, theology and religious studies. The intellectual spectrum of their discussion corresponds in its wide range. The entire work is built around its concept of religion, that is to say religion as a basic form of the human construction of meaning and interpretive culture.
