Abstract

The author of this article studies the formation of the conceptual core of the “theology of the cross” (Teologia crucis) of Martin Luther and the genesis of his Reformation theology using the example of Luther’s early (1517-1519) criticism of Aristotle’s ethics. Te philosophical reconstruction of the main strategies of conceptualizing the sublime in modern western philosophy, and the structural analysis of Kant’s theory of the sublime, are intended to show the moral and practical status and function of the idea of humility (devotio, humilitas) in the aesthetics of the sublime of I. Kant and in the “theology of the cross” of Martin Luther
