Abstract

The studies contained in this book "investigate the nexus of problems presented by the relationship between philosophical theology and philosophy of religion from the time of the first sweeping critique of speculative theology, through Hegel's attempt to restore the problem of God to a place in theoretical philosophy, down to the second effective critique of speculative theology and, at the same time, philosophy of religion". Jaeschke argues that Hegel's system unites philosophy of religion and philosophical theology; for the former presupposes the existence of God, which can only be proved by the latter. Unless philosophy of religion is based on philosophical theology, religion comes to be treated merely as a manifestation of the human. Furthermore, Jaeschke claims that it is only on the basis of the philosophy of religion, the final discipline of the system, that the Logic can be viewed as philosophical theology. For it is solely in the philosophy of religion that the absolute idea, the object of the Logic, is explicated in the only form appropriate to God--namely, as the self-consciousness of absolute spirit.
