Wissenschaft und Geselligkeit

With his appointment as Preacher at the CharitA(c) (1796) Friedrich Schleiermacher enters the cultural life of Berlin. For him, an important role is played by sociability, which he theorises with the anonymously published text Versuch einer Theorie des geselligen Betragens (1799) [a ~Toward a theory of sociable conducta (TM)]. The other pole of Schleiermachera (TM)s life in Berlin is provided by science and scholarship a " from the a oeSymphilosophya of his circle of early Romantic friends via participation, for example, in lectures on experimental chemistry, through to theological reflection on his work at the CharitA(c). The volume is the product of a symposium held by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, and it presents a picture of this life between scholarship and sociability based on sources newly made available through the Critical Edition of Schleiermachera (TM)s Complete Works.
