People/CharactersJohann Heinrich Tiefentrunk

Johann Heinrich Tieftrunk (born 15 May 1760, died 7 October 1837) was a German philosopher who worked on the philosophy of religion, processed Kant's approaches and worked as a professor in Halle. In the philosophy of religion, he attempted a middle way between more traditional and Kantian options by trying to agree on both the reference to revelation and a strong rationalism in the sense of a religion of reason and a foundation in human practice. Norms of morality should be manifested autonomously by practical reason, but the result is consistent with the ethics and religion of Jesus. Biblical texts must be reinterpreted for this, since they illustrate the truth in image concepts. (online translation by Firefox)
