Daniel Feuling
Daniel Feuling OSB (25 August 1882 – 17 November 1947) was a German Roman Catholic priest and philosopher of religion.
Biography
He was born in Lobbach as Martin Feuling. He entered the novitiate at Beuron Archabbey in 1902 and was ordained priest in Beuron on September 22, 1908 under the religious name of Daniel Feuling. He was a lecturer and professor of fundamental theology and Christian philosophy in Salzburg from 1924 to 1933, then in Beuron.
Feuling was one of the pioneers of the reception of Newman in Germany. In 1915 he wrote an article on John Henry Newman for the Historisch-politische Blätter.[1] While teaching in Salzburg, he initiated a German complete edition of Newman's works with the Jesuit Erich Przywara and the Husserl student Dietrich von Hildebrand, which he, Przywara and Paul Simon edited. In doing so, Feuling put into practice a suggestion that Max Scheler had made to him in Beuron in 1916.[lower-alpha 1]
Feuling's perceptive critique of National Socialist ideology in the Hochland is still considered important today.[2] Some of Daniel Feuling's letters to Reinhold Schneider were digitized by the Baden State Library in 2019.
