Sophia and Sophiology: From Boehme to Schelling

"Sophia and Sophiology: From Boehme to Schelling," a discussion with philosopher Sean J. McGrath, is part of the CSWR's new initiative, "Transcendence and Transformation."

Jacob Boehme may have been the first to have developed the Old Testament figure of Sophia, Yahweh’s eternal partner of Proverbs 8, into a metaphysical doctrine of divine androgyny. Beginning in his 1809 Freedom Essay, and continuing through to his 1841 Philosophy of Revelation, Schelling repeatedly returned to the Boehmian figure of Sophia, insisting that she was more than a mere metaphor. Boehme's sophiology, according to Schelling, advanced a crucial metaphysical point, one that is as relevant to the philosophy of religion of today as it was 150 years ago.

This event took place on November 15, 2021.
