Ernst Troeltsch

Japanese: トレルチ - とれるち(英語表記)Ernst Troeltsch
Ernst Troeltsch

German theologian, philosopher, and intellectual historian. Professor at the University of Heidelberg and the University of Berlin. The consistent theme of his wide-ranging activities was how to establish a new value order in the face of the anarchy of values ​​that accompanied the collapse of the self-evident nature of Christian ideals. Anarchy originates from historicism rather than naturalism, and the issue is history, faith, and the absoluteness of Christianity. In order to consider religion, both rigorous critical and historical procedures and ethical awareness are required. Here, instead of a naive assertion of absoluteness, a position on the validity of cultural synthesis based on the unity of Christianity and Western culture is proposed, with personal and inner determination as a prerequisite. He was also called a philosopher of historicism, and it was this cultural synthesis that overcame historicist skepticism and relativism. As a intellectual historian, he was greatly influenced by Max Weber. There is still much to learn from his sincere thinking today. His main works include "Historicism and its Problems" (1922) and "Historicism and its Overcoming" (1924).

Japanese:

ドイツの神学者、哲学者、精神史家。ハイデルベルク大学、ベルリン大学などの教授。彼の広範な活動を一貫する課題は、キリスト教的理念の自明性崩壊に伴う価値のアナーキーに直面して、新しい価値秩序をいかに確立するかということであった。アナーキーは自然主義よりも歴史主義に由来しており、問題は歴史と信仰、キリスト教の絶対性ということになる。宗教を考察するには、厳正な批判的、歴史学的手続と倫理学的自覚の双方が要求される。ここに素朴な絶対性主張にかわって、キリスト教と西洋文化の一体性を踏まえての文化総合の妥当性の立場が、人格的、内面的決断を前提として提唱される。彼は歴史主義の哲学者ともよばれたが、歴史主義的懐疑、相対主義の克服も、この文化総合によるのである。精神史家としては、マックス・ウェーバーの影響が大きい。彼の誠実な思索は今日もなお学ぶところが非常に多い。おもな著書は『歴史主義とその諸問題』(1922)、『歴史主義とその克服』(1924)など。
