In this seminal work, pioneering theologian Ernst Troeltsch raises the question, how can we pass beyond the diversity with which history presents us to norms for our faith and for our judgments about life? He trenchantly probes the issue of how one religion--when viewed historically in the context of other world religions--can be universally and absolutely true. Though many others since have explored the issue of historical relativism and religious truth, few have done so with Troeltsch's determination and incisiveness, and for this he has made a lasting contribution to Christian theology and the philosophy of religion. The questions Troeltsch poses in this book remain utterly significant for the thoughtful Christian today. This reissue of a well-known classic includes a foreword by theological titan James Luther Adams.
Zwischen 1901 und 1914 publizierte Ernst Troeltsch 150 Rezensionen zu Neuerscheinungen in Theologie, Philosophie, Sozialwissenschaften und Kulturgeschichte. Viele dieser häufig an weit entlegenen Orten publizierten Texte waren bisher nicht bekannt. Sie bieten nicht nur faszinierende Einblicke in Troeltschs Denkwerkstatt, sondern erschließen auch neue Perspektiven auf die im Heidelberger Gelehrtenmilieu geführten Debatten über die Kulturbedeutung von Religion und Christentum. Troeltsch rezensierte Texte von James, Simmel und Rickert, schrieb einen großen Nachruf auf seinen Freund Georg Jellinek, nahm an den Methodendebatten der deutschen Historiker intensiv Anteil und entwickelte in Rezensionen das integrative Konzept einer Theologie als Kulturwissenschaft des Christentums.

Shows that epistemological concerns were central to Kierkegaard's thought and serves as an introduction to both his epistemology and the historical reception of it.
The second volume of Dilthey ́s correspondence (1882-1895) contains some 400 letters written by or directed to Dilthey during his initial years as a professor in Berlin. They document his intensive and broad pursuit of outlining the liberal arts as well as providing insight into his concepts and concrete plans for the academy edition of Kant ́s works. In addition, the letters contained in this volume reveal the important role Dilthey played in shaping the science policies of his day, particularly through his close relationship with the influential Prussian cultural policymaker Friedrich Theodor Althoff.
"There can ne no doubt that the churches of to-day do not fully satisfy the religious needs of mankind. Often the most religious natures are those that hold themselves aloof from the Church. I find the main reason for this is that the churches cling too tenaciously to some old formula that is becoming more and more antiquated, so that the Church loses touch with the spiritual life of the present.... If the churches cannot find the courage and strength for such a course, they will find themselves becoming more and more estranged from mankind" / Rudolf Christoph Eucken. p. xx-xxi.
