See also:DAUB, KARL (1765-1836) , See also:German See also:Protestant theologian, was See also:born at See also:Cassel on the loth of See also:March 1765. He studied See also:philosophy, See also:philology and See also:theology at See also:Marburg in 1786, and eventually (1795) became See also:professor ordinarius of theology at See also:Heidelberg, where he died on the 22nd of See also:November 1836. Daub was one of the leaders of a school which sought to reconcile theology and philosophy, and to bring about a speculative reconstruction of orthodox See also:dogma. In the course of his intellectual development, he came successively under the See also:influence of See also:Kant, See also:Schelling and See also:Hegel, and on See also:account of the different phases through which he passed he was called the Talleyrand of German thought. There was one See also:great defect in his speculative theology: he ignored See also:historical See also:criticism. His purpose was, as See also:Otto See also:Pfleiderer says, " to connect the metaphysical ideas, which

had been arrived at by means of philosophical See also:dialectic, directly with the persons and events of the See also:Gospel narratives, thus raising these above the region of See also:ordinary experience into that of the supernatural, and regarding the most absurd assertions as philosophically justified. Daub had become so hopelessly addicted to this perverse principle that he deduced not only Jesus as the embodiment of the philosophical See also:idea of the See also:union of See also:God and See also:man, but also Judas Iscariot as the embodiment of the idea of a See also:rival god, or Satan." The three stages in Daub's development are clearly marked in his writings. His Lehrbuch der Katechetik (18ot) was written under the spell of Kant. His Theologumena (18o6), his Einleitung in das Studium der christl. Dogmatik (181o), and his Judas Ischarioth (2 vols., 1816, 2nd ed., 1818), were all written in the spirit of Schelling, the last of them reflecting a See also:change in Schelling himself from See also:theosophy to See also:positive philosophy. Daub's See also:Die dogmatische Theologi jetziger Zeit See also:oder die Selbstsucht in der Wissenschaft See also:des Glaubens (1833), and Vorlesungen ilber die Prolegomena zur Dogmatik (1839), are Hegelian in principle and obscure in See also:language.
