| Zusammenfassung: | I will consider the problem of the experience of God in light of the fact that God is not present to consciousness as a phenomenal object. I will present Hegel's conception of experience in The Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) as a valuable attempt to overcome the restrictions placed upon religious experience by Kant's definition of experience as "empirical knowledge." My counterintuitive thesis is that a certain way of thinking about the concept of God constitutes experience of God. Experience of the concept of God has the same status as any other experience of knowing. The concept can be thought and evaluated, and, above all, it can be true-that is, true to itself, to its essence, as a concept. |
