Summary
Religion in cultural philosophy is a subject often connected with the names of Friedrich Schleiermacher and Ernst Cassirer. However up to now no attempt has been made to read them together. Cornelia Richter analyzes their common background in transcendental philosophy and presents the systematic symmetries and differences between their cultural philosophies, focusing on the status and function of religion. She deals in particular with Schleiermacher's Dialectics and Ethics and Cassirer's Philosophy of Symbolic Forms.
