Rational Christianity in the strained domain of esoteric-masonic development: Halle 1740%u20131800

18世纪下半叶，哈雷成为宗教史上的中心，其身份由开明的神学或新学的发展决定。哈勒·S新学派运动最杰出的代表约翰·萨洛莫·塞姆勒的作品占据了这一历史研究的思想史组成部分的中心。与此平行的是，哈莱·S的深奥运动的组织共济会场景构成了第二个历史-宗教方面。调查的最重要的社会参照是共济会成立的背景。在小屋的私人社团中，这座城市的学术环境中的一部分开始组织起来，首先是学生，但越来越多的是教授。关于哈勒的S新学，该项目的目的在于通过社会历史参考文献的调查，补充相关作品的有条不紊的文本分析视角。在宗教和社会政治对抗的现实中新出现的概念必须以各自的方式主张。这一研究项目的目标是阐述精神和权力-政治概念；即介于深奥和启蒙之间的宗教模式在政治-宗教领域争夺定义权威的范围。

In the second half of the 18th Century, Halle became a centre in the history of religion, its identity determined by the development of enlightened theology or Neology. The work of the most prominent representative of Halle´s Neology movement, Johann Salomo Semler, occupies the centre of the history of ideas component of this historical study.Parallel to this, the organization of esoteric movements by Halle´s Freemason scene constitutes a second historical-religious aspect. The foremost social reference of investigation is the setting within which the founding of freemasonry occurred. In the private association of the lodges, a segment of the learned milieu of the city, above all students but increasingly professors, began to organize themselves. With respect to Halle´s Neology, the aim of the project lies in supplementing the methodical text-analytical perspective of pertinent works through the investigation of social historical references. The concepts which newly emerge from within the reality of religious and social political confrontation must be claimed in their respective ways. The goal of this research project is the elaboration of spiritual and power-political concepts; namely the confines within which religious models straddling between Esotericism and Enlightenment compete for definitional authority in the politico-religious realm.
