Rezumat: Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Schleiermacher am the Theological Hermeneutic. This article investigates the relationship between Kant and Schleiermacher in the field of biblical interpretation. Heavily influenced by Hume’s stress upon the necessity of empirical information and Leibnitz’s preocuppation for the importance of reason, Kant propossed a practical epistemology which became the very foundation for his entire philosophy. Kant’s reflection upon the various categories of human mind pushed him towards the conclusion that only some specific items belonging to reality may be treated as objects of knowledge. The intention beneath this way of thinking lies within Kant’s desire to solve the intricacies of metaphysics thus saving both the absolutism of science and the fundamental veracity of religion. In this respect, Kant uses a sort of hermeneutics which takes after the classical alegoric interpretation. Consequently, the key to biblical interpretation is whether the reader understands a certain text authetically or doctrinally. Should the reader be prone towards an authentic understanding of the text, it means that the interpretation is literal or pursued philologically. On the other hand, should the reader accept the doctrinal understanding of the same text, the interpretation will be delivered philosophically. In the latter case, the reader is free to insert within the text a certain interpretation which he obtains by means of exegesis as a result of a practical and moral perspective impressed upon the text itself. Actually, Kant argues that the pursue of true religion implies the acceptance of doctrinal interpretation, which does not need to know empirically the meaning the author intended for the text but the doctrine which is "read" into the text by human reason. Though obviously influenced by Kant in matters which concern the rational interpretation of the sacred text, Schleiermacher cannot give away his Lutheran Pietist upbringing and conviction. |
