WEISSE, See also:CHRISTIAN See also:HERMANN (18oi–1866) , See also:German See also:Protestant religious philosopher, was See also:born at See also:Leipzig on the loth of See also:August 1801. He studied at Leipzig, and at first belonged to the Hegelian school of See also:philosophy. In course of See also:time, how-ever, his ideas approximating to those of See also:Schelling in his later years, he elaborated with I. H. v. See also:Fichte a new speculative See also:theism, and became an opponent of See also:Hegel's pantheistic See also:idealism. In his addresses on the future of the Protestant See also:Church (Reden fiber See also:die Zukunft der evangelischen Kirche, 1849), he finds the essence of See also:Christianity in Jesus's conceptions of the heavenly See also:Father, the Son of See also:Man and the See also:kingdom of See also:Heaven. In his See also:work on philosophical dogmatics (Philosophische Dogmatik See also:oder Philosophic See also:des Christentums, 3 vols. 1855–1862) he seeks, by idealizing all the Christian dogmas, to reduce them to natural postulates of See also:reason or See also:conscience. He died on the 19th of See also:September 1866. His other See also:works include: Die Idee der Gottheit (1833), Die philosophische Geheimlehre von der Unsterblichkeit des menschlichen Individuums (1834), Buchlein von der Auferstehung (1836), Die evangelische Geschichte, kritisch and philosophisch bearbeitet (2 vols., 1838), and Psychologie and Unsterblichkeitslehre (edited by R. Seydel, 1869). See O.
