Ontologie des seelischen Lebens

Ein Beitrag zur theologischen Anthropologie im Anschluß an Hume, Kant, Schleiermacher und Dilthey

[The Ontology of Spiritual Life. A Contribution to Theological Anthropology subsequent to Hume, Kant, Schleiermacher and Dilthey.]

Published in German.

One of the main concerns of Christian theology is to call attention to those experiences of faith which are related to the innermost part of a human being. This is the "place" which the traditional professions of faith addressed as the "soul" or the "heart" of a human being. The criticism of psychology, which started with the philosophy of the Enlightenment and which took a theological turn in the 20th century, has up to the present prevented theology from developing an ontology of spiritual life. Subsequent to a critical reconstruction of Hume’s, Kant’s Schleiermacher’s and Dilthey’s systems of thought, Kirsten Huxel outlines such an ontology.
