The second section explores different aspects of Schleiermacher's philosophy of religion such as absolute dependence or religious feeling. Finally, the third section addresses how Schleiermacher's insights can contribute to contemporary philosophy of religion. These chapters address current debates, particularly on religious experience, feminism, and philosophy of emotions.Friedrich Schleiermacher's Philosophy of Religion will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of religion, history of philosophy, and 19th century religious thought.
