Publisher Description: Goethes Schwager versucht, ein Instrument zur sittlichen Erziehung der bauerlichen Bevolkerung zu schaffen, das die traditionelle Morallehre durch vernunftbegrundete sittliche Gebote ersetzen kann. Hier findet sich auch Schlossers vielbeachtete Forderung, den theologischen Fakultaten eine Professur fur 'praktische Gottesgelahrtheit' beizuordnen, um Landpfarrer kunftig nicht nur zu gelehrten Religionsphilologen, sondern vielmehr zu Sittenlehrern fur ihre Bauern auszubilden. Schlossers Katechismus loste eine lebhafte Diskussion uber die Mittel und Ziele der Volksaufklarung aus. Goethes brother-in-law attempted to create an instrument for the moral education of the peasant population which could replace traditional ethics with reasonable moral commandments. It is here that Schlossers demand to appoint a professorship for practical theology at faculties of theology can be found, a demand which attracted a great deal of attention, in order to train future country pastors not only to be scholars of religious language and literature but also to be teachers of morals for their peasants. Schlossers Katechismus (Catechism) triggered a lively discussion about the means and goals of the Enlightenment of the common people. |
