The Schlegel, Friedrich von 1772-1829 creator Robertson, James Burton 1800-1877 text utu 2015 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The Philosophy of History, Vol. 2 of 2" by Friedrich von Schlegel is a philosophical treatise on historical development woven from a series of lectures delivered in early 19th century Vienna. The work explores the role of Christianity in shaping history while also delving into the political landscapes of historical epochs, emphasizing the intertwined nature of divine influence and human actions. At the start of the second volume, Schlegel outlines his philosophical approach to history, arguing that Christianity fundamentally altered the political and moral world, particularly during the decline of the Roman Empire. He sets the stage for discussions on the historical landscape during the emergence of Christianity, providing context by examining the Jewish state and the sociopolitical dynamics of the time. Through a detailed analysis, Schlegel contrasts various factions within Judaism while exploring the broader impacts of Christian doctrines and the tumultuous historical events that followed, setting the foundation for a deeper examination of historical continuity and transformation in subsequent lectures.
