This anthology offers new research on Hegel’s followers in the 1830s and 1840s. Including essays by well-known philosophers, political scientists, and historians from Europe and North America, it pays special attention to ques- tions of state power, the economy, poverty, and labour, as well as to a range of ideas about freedom. The book examines the political and social thought of Eduard Gans, Ludwig Feuerbach, Max Stirner, Bruno and Edgar Bauer, the young Engels, and Marx. It places them in the context not only of Hegel’s philosophy but also of the Enlight- enment, Kant, the French Revolution, industrialisation, and urban poverty. It also views Marx and Engels in a new light in relation to their contemporaries and interlocutors in the Hegelian school. Douglas Moggach is a professor of political science and philosophy at the University of Ottawa. A recipient of a Woodrow Wilson Fellow- ship, he has held visiting appointments at Clare Hall; King’s College, Cambridge; the University of Toronto; and the Scuola Normale Supe- riore di Pisa.

It originated from a panel on the Hegelian Left organised with Andrew Chitty at the Eighth Conference of the International Society for the Study of European Ideas, Aberystwyth, Wales, in July 2002.Work on the project has been gen- erously supported by grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and from the Research Services and the Faculty of Social Science of the University of Ottawa. The volume was completed during my visiting fellowship at the Centre for History and Economics, King’s College, Cambridge. The members and staff of the Centre, in particular Gareth Stedman Jones, Emma Rothschild, Melissa Lane, William O’Reilly, and Inga Huld Markan, provided a hospitable and stimulating environment in which to work. I am grateful to the Provost and Fellows of King’s College for their invitation to spend the academic year 2004–5 as a Senior Associate of the college. Clare Hall, Cambridge, also welcomed me and my family back into the community for another memorable year. The members of the ISSEI panel, and of the extended research net- work that emerged from it, have engaged in fruitful mutual exchanges and discussions over the past few years. Because of other commitments, some of our members were unable to participate in the final volume. I acknowledge in particular the contributions of Charles Barbour, Daniel Brudney, Renato Cristi, and Thomas Kemple. Thanks are due especially to Andrew Chitty, who co-chaired the ISSEI panel with me and who pro- vided detailed commentary on a number of the texts, including my own. Ardis Collins gave valuable editorial guidance at all stages of the process.

Keywords: Friedrich Engels, 200th birthday, anniversary, digital capitalism, Karl Marx Date of Publication: 28 November 2020 CC-BY-NC-ND: Creative Commons License, 2021. 2 Christian Fuchs 1. Friedrich Engels’s Life Friedrich Engels was born on 28 November 1820 in Barmen, a city in North Rhine- Westphalia, Germany, that has since 1929 formed a district of the city Wuppertal. In the early 19th century, Barmen was one of the most important manufacturing centres in the German-speaking world. He was the child of Elisabeth Franziska Mauritia Engels (1797-1873) and Friedrich Engels senior (1796-1860). The Engels family was part of the capitalist class and operated a business in the cotton manufacturing industry, which was one of the most important industries. In 1837, Engels senior created a business partnership with Peter Ermen called Ermen & Engels. The company operated cotton mills in Manchester (Great Britain) and Engelskirchen (Germany). Other than Marx, Engels did not attend university because his father wanted him to join the family business so that Engels junior already at the age of 16 started an ap- prenticeship in commerce.

These crises will continue to accelerate under capitalism due to its inherent structural contradictions. Capitalism’s profit motive creates its insatiable need for perpetual growth, a growth only achieved through the exploitation of man and nature. Radical systems change is therefore required and only a collective agent can affect this change. While the working class has so far failed to live up to its potential as that collective agent, the human drive to work—to contribute to society and to express itself creatively—will continue to play a primary role in bringing about the required change.

  • Was Heißt Es, Heute Ein Idealist Zu Sein? Fichte Über Freiheit Und Geschichte” Douglas Moggach University of Ottawa/University of Sydney
    “Was heißt es, heute ein Idealist zu sein? Fichte über Freiheit und Geschichte” Douglas Moggach University of Ottawa/University of Sydney The period 1780 to 1830 is one of the most fruitful times in the history of European philosophy and political thought, rivalling the achievements of classical Athens. German idealism, the philosophical current originating in the critical works of Immanuel Kant, is an extended reflection on the idea of freedom and on the prospects for its realisation in the modern world. It is both ‘German’ and ‘idealist’ in special senses. The German territories at the beginning of this period were a welter of kingdoms, principalities, dukedoms, bishoprics, and city states, under the titular leadership of the Holy Roman Empire (founded by Charlemagne in 800 AD) until Napoleon abolished it in 1806, leaving various political institutions and movements to struggle for hegemony in its wake. Scattered throughout these lands, from the extreme north-east to the south-west, were intellectual centres such as Kant’s own Königsberg (geographically remote, but a commercial hub in close communication with Britain); Goethe’s Weimar; Jena, where Schiller and Fichte both lectured, and the site of a budding Romanticism; and the Tübingen of Hegel, Hölderlin, and Schelling.1 Later in the period, with its newly- founded university (of which Fichte was elected as the first Rector), Berlin was to play a leading cultural role. In these centres, the effects of the European Enlightenment, and receptions and critiques of the indigenous theoretical traditions stemming from Leibniz, were distilled into a philosophical revolution. The essence of this revolution was an engagement with modern society, and an account of its emergence and potentialities, undertaken in works by Fichte, Schiller, and Hegel, with Kant in the vanguard.2 It is this resolute yet critical modernism which imbues German idealism with its particular characteristics: for all its inner divergences,3 it is a practical idealistic approach, a brilliant vindication of freedom.

    Volume 25, Number 1, Fall 2010 • Marx, Politics… and Punk Roland Boer. “Marxism and Eschatology Reconsidered” Mediations 25.1 (Fall 2010) 39-59 www.mediationsjournal.org/articles/marxism-and-eschatology-reconsidered. Marxism and Eschatology Reconsidered Roland Boer Marxism is a secularized Jewish or Christian messianism — how often do we hear that claim? From the time of Nikolai Berdyaev (1937) and Karl Löwith (1949) at least, the claim has grown in authority from countless restatements.1 It has become such a commonplace that as soon as one raises the question of Marxism and religion in a gathering, at least one person will jump at the bait and insist that Marxism is a form of secularized messianism. These proponents argue that Jewish and Christian thought has influenced the Marxist narrative of history, which is but a pale copy of its original: the evils of the present age with its alienation and exploitation (sin) will be overcome by the proletariat (collective redeemer), who will usher in a glorious new age when sin is overcome, the unjust are punished, and the righteous inherit the earth. The argument has served a range of very different purposes since it was first proposed: ammunition in the hands of apostate Marxists like Berdyaev and especially Leszek Kolakowski with his widely influential three-volume work, Main Currents of Marxism;2 a lever to move beyond the perceived inadequacies of Marxism in the hands of Christian theologians eager to assert that theological thought lies at the basis of secular movements like Marxism, however

  • Absolute Spirit and Universal Self-Consciousness: Bruno Bauer's Revolutionary Subjectivism*
    Absolute Spirit and Universal Self-Consciousness: Bruno Bauer's Revolutionary Subjectivism* DOUGLAS MOGGACH University of Ottawa Recent literature on the Young Hegelians attests to a renewed apprecia- tion of their philosophical and political significance. Important new studies have linked them to the literary and political currents of their time,1 traced the changing patterns of their relationships with early French socialism,2 and demonstrated the affinity of their thought with Hellenistic theories of self-consciousness.3 The conventional interpreta- tive context, which focuses on the left-Hegelian critique of religion and the problem of the realisation of philosophy,4 has also been decisively challenged. Ingrid Pepperle emphasizes instead the centrality of practi- cal philosophy, notably Hegel's dialectic of objectification, arguing that Bruno Bauer in particular derives from this a doctrine of autonomy with politically revolutionary implications.5 While H.-M.

  • Dialectical Humanism: an Ethic of Self-Actualization
    DIALECTICAL HUMANISM: AN ETHIC OF SELF-ACTUALIZATION BY Hernan David Carrillo Submitted to the graduate degree in Philosophy and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________ Chairperson ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ Date defended: ______________ The Dissertation Committee for Hernan David Carrillo certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: DIALECTICAL HUMANISM: AN ETHIC OF SELF-ACTUALIZATION Committee: _____________________________ Chairperson _____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ Date approved: _________________________ ii Abstract In the history of western philosophy, few thinkers have managed to generate as much controversy and confusion as Karl Marx. One issue caught in this controversy and mired in confusion the presence of evaluative language in Marx’s ‘later’ works. Critics have seized on its presence, contending that it contradicts his theory of history, rendering his critique of political economy nothing more than proletarian ideology. These criticisms are based on an inconsistency that is only apparent. As this dissertation will demonstrate, Marx is able to consistently and objectively combine evaluation and description in his ‘later’ works because embedded within his dialectical method is an ethic of self-actualization I call Dialectical Humanism. Since so much of the confusion surrounding this issue stems from a failure to adequately contextualize it, Chapter I places Marx’s life and thought in proper perspective. With the overview of the development of Marx’s life and thought complete, Chapter II examines his theory of history to understand how it explains socio-historical phenomena. Chapter III elucidates Marx’s humanism, tracing its development from an explicit to an implicit aspect of his thought.

In the first instance, it contributes to a body of research which has sought to revise the customary view in New Testament studies, that the historical study of Jesus began with the posthumous publication of Herman Samuel Reimarus's Von dem Zwecke Jesu und seiner Jünger (1778), the last in a series of Fragments published by G.
