Summary: | Although Ritschl is now a figure belonging to past rather than present theological scholarship, his emphasis on value-judgments is quite in line with current interpretations which give to rationalization a subordinate place in religion. This article carefully states exactly what Ritschl meant by value-judgments, and undertakes to give a critical estimate of the validity of his position. Ritschl himself did not conceive of value-judgments in so subjective a fashion as some exponents of the Ritschlian theology. Rightly understood this aspect of Ritschl's theology may be regarded as a contribution to a comprehensive philosophy of religion rather than as a depreciation of theoretical knowledge. |
