    Er... did you actually read the essay?

    If so, why don't you actually engage with the ideas presented, rather than trying to make an
    argument to authority - "hey, I haven't heard of Schleiermacher, and the people I read haven't heard
    of him, therefore he can't be important". A more cast-iron way of remaining lodged in your own
    certainties I can't conceive of.
