Correlation of Intuition and Feeling in Schleiermacher's On Religion

The article discusses the relationship between feeling and intuition in Schleiermacher's On Religion. It highlights how Schleiermacher presents the human religious experience in the organic system of nature, drawing upon the sameness of subject and object within the thinking of the early romantics and the Spinozian context in the theological-philosophical system. Through linking intuition and feeling, Schleiermacher explains the connection between the finite and infinite, emphasizing the pre-theoretical nature of intuition. The article suggests that Schleiermacher's knowledge goes beyond the theoretical knowledge of philosophers like Kant and argues that his intuition and feeling should be considered within the spiritual and inner realm for humans. Additionally, the article touches on the novel topic of the turn from feeling to opinion in the third edition of On Religion (1826 AD). Overall, the main focus of the article is to explore the concept of intuition and feeling as presented in Schleiermacher's work.
