Gaia:What does “affirmation” mean ? Although Selbstbehauptung is a keynotion in Hans Blumenberg’s account of the transition to modernity, the question is left unsolved in The Legitimacy of the Modern Age . An explanation may be found in Blumenberg’s silent debate with Heidegger in the pages related to the idea of “theological absolutism” in the early Reformation. Blumenberg’s objection to the alleged “secularization” of the certainty of salvation from Luther to Descartes fails to address the construction and doctrinal consistency of the very notion of Heilsgewissheit . Through a fresh look upon early modern ideas of affirmation I here suggest alternative ways of making conceptual schemes of the Confessional Era productive for a critical history of modernity.
