ERNST TROELTSCH AND THE SPIRIT OF MODERN CULTUR...

Ernst Troeltsch was a theologian and sociologist but he was also a philosopher of culture. He
was concerned with the spirit of the modern world throughout most of his academic life and
chose to investigate a number of critical issues which he believed were especially problematic
for the modern world. This book is an exploration of many of the key issues. It begins with an
explanation of what Troeltsch believed the spirit of the modern world to be and then to
explaining the debt that Troeltsch owed to Friedrich Schleiermacher for an understanding of the
modern world. Chapters are then devoted to Troeltsch's investigations into issues such as the
relationship between church and state  the role of natural law  the problems of historicism and
pessimism  and it concludes with his observations about politics in war and in revolution. This
work will be of interest to those concerned with understanding the modern world.
