Spiritualitatea prin expansiune. Sacralitatea cosmică și îmbrățișarea acesteia, în teologia lui Fr. Schleiermacher
Spirituality through Expansion. Embracing Cosmic Sanctity, in the Theology of Fr. Schleiermacher

Summary/Abstract: Trying to outline a system of Christian theology suitable to the rationalist and scientist approach of the Enlightenment, refractory to the idea of "transcendent", Friedrich Schleiermacher founds his own theological system in cosmic perfection, in the perfection of the Universe, taken as a whole. Cosmic sanctity replaces the sacred transcendent God of traditional theology. The divine external to the world is replaced by the divinity intrinsic to the Universe, which bestows it perfection. In this theological background, religious experience, salvation of man can no longer signify a relation to a transcendent God, but embracing a broader perspective, vast enough to include cosmic sacredness. Spirituality is no longer achieved by ascension but by expansion, an expansion comprehensive enough to incorporate the divinity of the Whole. Sanctification represents the approach by which man himself restores his natural predisposition towards the connection to cosmic harmony, without being assisted, in his endeavour, by any external divinity.
