According to Schleiermacher, every religious person is immediately educated by the infinite. Based on his early theory of education, Christian König reveals the meaning of religion that Schleiermacher developed in his notorious 'Speeches' and demonstrates that his concept of religion is a critical one. According to this critical concept, religion is awarded an exceptional position in the ensemble of the human mind's powers. The author also presents the relevance of this for contemporary debates on religion, which includes the need for religious plurality and conveys a criterion for evaluating competing religious truth-claims. Overall, the author offers a thorough critical analysis of Schleiermacher's inclusivistic theory of religion.
