Friday May 31, 2019
Friday May 31, 2019
Friedrich Schleiermacher is awesome. Lots of folks love to hate him, but I'm here to tell you that you should read him.
In this recording, I discuss the 5th of Schleiermacher's speeches from On Religion. I've re-purposed a recording that I made for a class that I no longer teach. I hope you find it helpful or at least entertaining.This content appeared first on YouTube.
