From the Revealing of Transcendental Illusions to the Search for Philosophical Principle——Schleiermacher's Reorientation of Dialectics
Dialectics is at the root of Schleiermacher's philosophy.He developed dialectics as a universal and fundamental tool for philosophical thinking.Schleiermacher broke with Kant's definition of dialectics in theoretical philosophy as"logic of illusion"by borrowing Spinoza's philosophy of the Substance to fight with the dualism of Kant's philosophy.The core idea of Schleiermacher's dialectic is the unity of logic and metaphysics,which unifies the form of knowledge and the content of existence,and the supreme principle he explored is both transcendental,namely,the condition of possibility of knowledge,and transcendent,namely,the supreme ground of existence.Schleiermacher significantly broke through the limits of Kantian philosophy through dialectics and stayed in an extremely complex dialogue with various philosophical systems of the post-Kantian era.
