Caftan - Julius Kaftan

Japanese: カフタン - かふたん(英語表記)Julius Kaftan
Caftan - Julius Kaftan

German Lutheran theologian. Born September 30th in Reuth near Apenrade, Schleswig-Holland. In 1881 he became a full professor at the University of Basel, and in 1883 a professor at the University of Berlin. After 1919 he also served as deputy director of the Religious Affairs Department. He died on August 27th, 1926 in Berlin. He belonged to the Ritschl school and had a strong tendency towards religious philosophy. He highly valued the significance of Kant's philosophy for Christianity, defined religion as "the practical affairs of the human spirit," and attempted to prove historical evidence and universal validity in the form of value judgments from the historical revelation of Christ. However, to the extent that he tried to combine mysticism and authority with ethics, it can be said that he modified Ritschl's work. His brother Theodor Kaftan (1847-1932) was also known as a pastor and Protestant theologian.

Japanese:

ドイツのルター派神学者。9月30日シュレスウィヒ州アペンラーデ近郊のロイトに生まれる。1881年バーゼル大学正教授、1883年ベルリン大学教授。1919年以後、宗教局次長を兼任。1926年8月27日ベルリンにて没。リッチュル学派に属し、宗教哲学的傾向が濃い。キリスト教に対するカント哲学の意義を高く評価し、宗教を「人間精神の実践的な事柄」と定義し、キリストの歴史的啓示から、歴史的明証性と普遍妥当性を価値判断の形で証明することを試みた。ただし、神秘性と権威とを倫理性と結合しようとした限りでは、リッチュルを修正したといえよう。兄のテオドールTheodor Kaftan(1847―1932)も牧師かつプロテスタント神学者として知られる。
