Schleiermacher and Steiner's contrasting anthropologies

Schleiermacher influenced theology from a rational, dogmatic, traditional system to one centered in experience, mainly his famous "feeling of absolute dependence" (on a presumed God, not the Void, which would come to be felt more widely later in the 19th).
with a different anthropology (which Schleiermacher would have rejected), Steiner held also to an experiential "theology" of (mystical) sorts, but one more of conditional independence.
