| Summary: | Resumé The full doctoral thesis, The Beautiful Thinking, by the DanishHistorian of Ideas Dorthe Jørgensen, is an impressive and erudite workthat challenges modern theology to learn from philosophical aestheticsor, more specifically, a ‘metaphysics of experience’. Taking her point ofdeparture in Baumgarten’s concept of sensitive cognition, she sets out todevelop a philosophy which, contrary to the erratic strictures of empiricalscience, on the one hand, and superficial tendencies of the modern entertainment culture, on the other, is able to grasp experiences of ‘immanenttranscendence’ or ‘a surplus of meaning’. In this review article, however, I warn against the romanticizing implications of this endeavor inasmuch as the subject matter of theology is a confessional tradition rather than some form of experiential sensitivity. |
