Copyist Exegesis
or
The Relation between the Old and the New Testament

After Hierax or Hierakis had nourished himself in Christianity by copying Holy Scripture, he found in his wisdom that the difference between the Old and New Testament is that celibacy is not taught in the former — such a conception is possible only for people who stand in an external relation to the object the way a copyist does.

Notes appended to H. H. Clausen's Lectures in Dogmatics:
[...]

Anthropology

[...]

1. Man's original perfection.

   Clausen thinks that the ideal condition of the human race has been confused with man's first condition, which is described in Genesis and which ought not to be conceived historically. Thus far he agrees with the recent views which render the first condition as the category of pure being, to which life itself is presumably led back, but which nevertheless must not be thought of as existing [existerende] as pure being; only the system has this.

2. Man's immortality [...]

3. Man's sinfulness [...]

   When, in order to explain the significance of Adam's sin for the generations, Clausen appeals, as do other dogmaticians, to the analogy which is found in the individuality of a people; to what extent is this exhaustive, or does he not stop with the category "race and type" instead of reaching the energy of individuality. ]...]

4. It is important to note, it seems to me, the synthesis which is found in every New Testament dogma, that this synthesis is maintained only from different sides, either as the divine and human (God-man — Revelation), or as succession and unity (present judgment and future, present resurrection and future), or the spiritual and physical (immortality of the soul — resurrection of the body).

   τó ον, the Eleatics (Parmenides), Pure being [Væren] —

   1. it is universally applicable.

   2. most universal. single — immediate.

   3. not a distinction as if it were something objective.

   4. copula without predicate or subject.

      to that extent it is nothing (i.e., nothing is predicated of it).

      τó ετερον (ετερον)

   Existence [Tilværelsen] — 
   proceeds out of being —
   being presupposes a second, i.e.,: existence — boundary.

   Every negation implies an affirmation, since otherwise it would itself be completely meaningless — this is what Heiberg calls infinite conclusions.

   An abstract beginning is neither something nor nothing, for, if it were nothing, then it would not have begun, and if it were something, it would be more than a beginning.

   [Excerpt from Johan Eduard Erdmann, Vorlesungen über Glauben und Wissen. (Berlin: 1837). Lectures 1-7 (pp. 1-70).]

   November, 1837

   Continuation:

   Lecture 8

   [Pp.70 f.] We have now reached the point that the true is defined as the opposite of the "I" and it must be true just because it is the opposite of the "I". Every other definition of truth is accidental; essentially it is just the opposite of the "I". But that which makes truth the truth is nothing other than the "I itself". And for its content, truth has only that which the "I" gives it. — Now it switches over to the opposite.[*] —

   [*] The reason that it is so difficult to get people to perceive this dialectical movement and that they imagine it to be much easier by means of the phenomenal analogies Erdmann uses [pp. 71 f.] is that such a transition seems to involve the incommensurability of life, which is inaccessible to the abstract dialectic developing through the thought-knots of necessity.

   Christliche Polemik, Dr. Karl Henrich Sack. Hamburg bei Perthes: 1838.

   According to what I have read in this book so far, there are many very good things in it, but it is more popular than scholarly; frequently it is even devotional, and besides this it is curiously laid out, somewhat like a textbook.

   In the preface there is nothing particularly notable, but the analysis of indifferentism, with which the book itself begins, is interesting in many ways and could be developed with much greater scholarly significance. 

   The two main forms of indifferentism are naturalism and mythologizing (depending on whether the indifferentism takes a factual or ideal turn, but the basis of this division is again one of those miserable scholastic bits that are of no importance)....

   Gnosticism ...Sack's remark on p. 278 about Gnosticism is superb and agrees entirely with what I have thought and to which there are also allusions in this book in connection with Schaller. ...
