Der Mensch – das besonnene Geschöpf. Zur Aktualität einer anthropologischen Einsicht Johann Gottfried Herders
Volume 106 (2009) / Issue 3, pp. 305-326 (22)
This article explores a central anthropological insight of J. G. Herder against the backdrop of a systematic theological perspective. Herder's notion of the human being as a »besonnenes Geschöpf« (level-headed creature) is reconstructed as a conception of a specific experience of presence.
