| Résumé: | In this essay Schleiermacher’s recasting of sin is taken as a key to his phenomenological analysis of self-consciousness. The notion of sin is grossly misunderstood if read solely in the light of Christian self-consciousness; it is rather a phenomenological descriptor. Schleiermacher’s phenomenology is not focused on or confined to that shape of self-consciousness whereas it is much more elementary. Sin is a living ‘state of servitude’ that is ubiquitously manifested in human being at its individual and collective (social) levels. Schleiermacher’s notion of servitude is that the mediating sensory self-consciousness - which is integrally linked with the highest self-consciousness - generates a certain oscillation that diverts the highest self-consciousness and continuously pushes the self back to the lower level of sensory self-consciousness. The intuitively given, the whole, is nevertheless taken as a felt revelation that informs our conscious experience; on which we rely at all subsequent or higher levels of consciousness, such as knowledge and science. The human is exposed through the revealing feeling that places the emerging subject to the whole within which the fall into dichotomizing polarization takes place. |
