Leben und Denken in Philosophie und Religion – vom Idealismus zur Phänomenologie

Abstract

The subject of the article is the relationship between life and thought in a metaphilosophical perspective. It aims to show that German idealism, in a way that is still relevant but has previously not been sufficiently recognized, principally ties together both parts of the relationship, and, furthermore, that the shift in philosophy from idealism to post-idealism is not as abrupt as it is widely assumed to be. Friedrich Schlegel and Friedrich Schleiermacher are taken to represent German idealism, and Martin Heidegger is taken to represent post-idealism. First, reconstruction is made of an idea that is basic for the philosophy of Schlegel and Schleiermacher, namely, the idea of ‘natural’, pre-theoretical thought or interpretation that is spontaneously generated in human life and is principally independent of ‘artificial’, in a broad sense scientific, philosophy. The latter is in part an explication of ‘natural philosophy’. Second, this idea is compared with a very similar one, developed by Heidegger. Aspects that distinguish Heidegger from his predecessors are identified on the one hand as a theory of meaning, and on the other as the lack of a ‘reason of conscious life’.
