Abstract
Writing in 1840, Karl Rosenkranz could reflect that over the past decade perceptions of Hegelian philosophy had undergone a fundamental change. For whereas formerly Hegelianism had been regarded as the bulwark of both the Church and State in Prussia, it was now considered to be heretical in religion and revolutionary in politics.’ The transformation he referred to had been brought about by the excursions of the Hegelian school into the fields of theology and political theory. In the former case this concerned primarily David Friedrich Strauss’s Life of Jesus, published in 1835–6, and in the latter case, the Hallische Jahrbücher founded by Arnold Ruge and Theodore Echtermeyer in 1838.
