5 Interestingly Schleiercnacher was regarded by some contemporaries as a foundationalist and by others as an anti-foundationalist—to use present day categories. Protestant Neo-orthodoxy has generally regarded him as a foundationalist, whereas Roman Catholic theology has had the opposite interpretation.
