He restructures the old improvement of the concept that of sacrifice via a examine of Kant, Solger, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche, and exhibits how every one is indebted to Kant and has extra in universal with him than is usually said.

This makes it attainable to think about sacrifice as a regulative and symbolic proposal, and ends up in an unorthodox suggestion of sacrifice: now not the destruction of anything for the sake of anything else, yet relatively a kenotic emptying, conceived as a withdrawal or a “making room” for others.

Sample text
By contrast, for Solger, the movement bringing the finite to reality is not an emanationist process, but a conscious act of creation (Schöpfung, NS, 171)—a creation which happens, as mentioned above, via negationis. First, the Infinite (God) creates the finite (world) by losing its own absoluteness, and thus suffers an ontological diminution. Second, once the Infinite has created the finite, the finite is not ontologically bound to the Infinite any longer—that is, the finite is ontologically independent from the Infinite and thus it is never referred to by Solger as a “pale reflection” of the Infinite.
Therefore, the next two chapters will be devoted to Solger (Chapter 2) and Hegel (Chapter 3), respectively. 2 Solger’s Sacrificial Dialectic Sacrifice as Double Negation Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand Solger (1780–1819) is usually considered a theorist of aesthetics and romantic irony. Nevertheless, the essay written by Hegel in 1828 as an extensive review of Solger’s Posthumous Writings and Correspondence1 represents a challenge for the classic interpretation of Solger. In fact, the main focus of Hegel’s essay is not Solger’s aesthetics, but the theoretical framework of his work, constituted by Solger’s negative dialectic between the finite and the Infinite.
Symbolic and Regulative Value of Sacrifice The role of religious notions and narratives in Kant’s moral theory is often underestimated. Standard accounts tend to regard religious representations as mere metaphors or, at best, as useful symbols that serve to illustrate some moral content. From Kant’s perspective, it is suggested, religious representations have more or less the function of pictures in old novels: they embellish the pages, but ultimately it would not make any difference if they were omitted from the text.
