Herders Christlicher Monismus Synopsis

English summary: In an interdisciplinary discourse with Herder research in the fields of German studies and philosophy, Claas Cordemann focuses on Herder as a theologian and shows he was a distinguished philosopher who picked up on the theological debate of his era and was productive in pursuing it. He incorporates Herder's thinking into the philosophical discourse of the 18th century, which is linked to the names of Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz. Cordemann shows that with his concept of a Christian monism Herder was trying to connect the basic insights of a metaphysics inspired by Spinoza to the basic concerns of Christian theology. He makes it clear that Herder's theory of nature, history and culture and his definition of human beings and the history of humanity focus on Christology and are to be understood on the basis of the concept of God.


German description: Claas Cordemann stellt im interdisziplinaren Diskurs mit der germanistischen und philosophischen Herderforschung den Theologen Herder ins Zentrum und zeigt ihn als einen Denker von Rang, der die philosophische und theologische Debattenlage seiner Zeit aufgreift und produktiv weiterfuhrt. Herders Denken wird in den philosophischen Diskurs des 18. Jahrhunderts eingebettet, der mit den Namen Descartes, Spinoza und Leibniz verbunden ist. Cordemann zeigt, dass Herder mit seinem Konzept eines achristlichen Monismus die Grundeinsichten einer spinozanisch inspirierten Metaphysik mit den Grundanliegen christlicher Theologie zu verbinden sucht. Herders Natur-, Geschichts- und Kulturtheorie sowie seine Bestimmung des Menschen und der Menschheitsgeschichte, so die These der Arbeit, haben ihren Fokus in der Christologie und sind vom Gottesgedanken her zu verstehen.
