Schleiermacher’s Dialectics. A Project of Classical German Philosophy

Abstract

Schleiermacher's Dialectics is rooted in the background of the problems and discussions of classical German philosophy after Kant's work. On the one hand, it reacts to the attempts at a system by adopting a position that goes beyond the dispute over the foundations of knowledge. On the other hand, it shares with post-Kantian philosophy the search for mediation and unification of idealism and realism. Likewise, Dialectics should not be understood as a closed and definitive system, but according to the figure of knowledge in becoming that it itself treats. This is reflected in the transformations in Schleiermacher's successive courses on dialectics.
