  Young Hegelians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Young Hegelians were opposed to the mainstream Right Hegelians who held the department chairs and other prominent positions in the university and the government.
The Right Hegelians felt that the series of historical dialectics had been completed, and that Prussian society as it existed was the culmination of all social development to date, with an extensive civil service system, good universities, industrialization, and high employment.
The Young Hegelians believed that there were still further dialectical changes to come, and that the Prussian society of the time was far from perfect as it still contained pockets of poverty, government censorship was in place, and non-Lutherans suffered from religious discrimination.

In contemporary accounts of Hegelianism -- to undergraduate classes, for example -- Hegel's dialectic often appears broken up for convenience into three moments called "thesis" (in our example, the revolution), "antithesis" (the terror which followed), and "synthesis" (the constitutional state of free citizens).
The Right Hegelians, the direct disciples of Hegel at the University of Berlin, advocated evangelical orthodoxy and the political conservatism of the post-Napoleon Restoration period.
The Left became known as the Young Hegelians and they interpreted Hegel in a revolutionary sense, leading to an advocation of atheism in religion and liberal democracy in politics.

 The First Hegelians: An Introduction, by Lawrence Stepelevich
The hopes of these Hegelians to engage in a free-flowing theological and cultural dialogue was tempered, then turned into bitter anger or sour silence in the face of an adamant union between a defensive church and a reactionary monarchy.
This essential unity of philosophical form and spiritual content, of Hegelianism as formulated Christinity, is the principle of conservative Hegelianism, of that which came to be known as "Old Hegelianism." In this conservative perspective, original Hegelianism stood as the conclusion of thought, and not as a premise for future action.
A Hegelian would soon be forced to choose to remain prudently silent on political and religious issues, and so remain without influence, as the Old Hegelians, or to speak out, and suffer academic and political repression, as the Young Hegelians.

 Encounter in Humanization: Insights for Christian-Marxist Dialogue and Cooperation
Hegelian philosophy leaves a number of open questions as far as the importance, nature and position of religion in real life is concerned.
The left Hegelians could not admit this unity; they began to ask whether Hegel was not really a pantheist.
Thus the left side of the school opposed the Right’s optimism with a pessimism that set out to destroy the dogmas enshrined in religious representations that were now outdated.

 St. Louis Hegelians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Alcott met with the St. Louis Hegelians in 1859 and 1866 and, though treated harshly by the abrasive Brokmeyer for his vague mysticism, at his first visit he was persuaded to begin a study of Hegel’s Philosophy of History; at his second visit he became an auxiliary member of their Society.
In this regard, the St. Louis Hegelians’ institutionalism pre-figured the social reform of the Progressive era which is typified by its acceptance of the fundamental rightness of American institutions, while the Transcendentalists’ pre-war individualism was characteristic of the Age of Jackson.
Rejecting the myth of Hegel’s acquiescence to the Prussian status quo, the St. Louis Hegelians believed that positive freedom required them to be critical of existing social institutions by discerning the freedom-enhancing and enriching directions in which they are moving and striving to advance that movement.

 Flower & Murray, A History of Philosophy in America, Chap. 8
Yet all of these, in one way or another, were seeking to overcome in some higher synthesis the difficulties left by Kant: Cousin, in his eclecticism, Coleridge in his own logic, {465} Fichte and Schelling by their versions of objective idealism, and Emerson and Alcott in the ways explored in the previous chapters.
Above all, the chasm which Kant left between the noumenal and phenomenal worlds establishes an absolute dichotomy between that which is knowable by science and the understanding, and that which is permanently unavailable–the knowledge of the world as it really is, {477} of God, immortality, and the freedom and purpose of the moral order.
He was one with the rest of the Hegelians at least in his belief that aesthetics is a fully philosophic enterprise, and that the fine arts are as susceptible of analysis as literature.

 Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Essay: "On Goldmann, Lukacs, Heidegger, & Adorno"
They had moved away from the Hegelian position, according to Lukacs because they had abandoned the fundamental categories of totality and the identity of the subject and the object, in order to return to the subject-object opposition in the form of the opposition between 'critical consciousness' and the world.
The Hegelians of the left are in opposition to the reality of ideas which have no real basis: Bauer with his critical self-consciousness and Stirner with his egoistic individual which, Marx has shown, is not real and, in short, comes from a philosophical construction, just like Bauer's 'critical consciousness'.
According to Lukacs the Hegelians of the left are the expression of a small, radical group oriented since the beginning of the 1840s toward the revolution of 1848, without being sufficiently strong to succeed in the revolution, or capable of thinking about itself and the situation clearly.

 The Birth of Marxism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This Left Hegelian or Young Hegelian movement was the philosophical expression of the republican, bourgeois-democratic opposition which criticised the feudal order of the Prussian state.
While being a part of the Left Hegelian group Marx at this early stage itself had a differing viewpoint in his emphasis on the philosophy of praxis (of linking with the practical world).
It is an important document signalling Marx’s final break with Left Hegelian radicalism: for its proclamation of communism as the ideology of the working class movement is not presented as a supplement to the critique of Left Hegelianism, but as something opposed to it.

 Karl Marx - InfoshopOpenWiki
However, the reactionary policy of the government made Marx abandon the idea of an academic career, after Ludwig Feuerbach had been deprived of his chair in 1832 (and who was not allowed to return to the university in 1836); and in 1841 the government had forbade the young Professor Bruno Bauer to lecture at Bonn.
At the begining on 1842, some radical bourgeois in the Rhineland (Cologne), who were in touch with the Left Hegelians, founded a paper in opposition to the Prussian government, called the Rheinische Zeitung.
In this work, largely produced in response to Feuerbach’s materialism, Marx and Engels set down the foundations of Marxism with the materialistic conception of history, and broke from Left Hegelian idealism with a critique against Bruno Bauer and Max Stirner.

The Young Hegelians tried to draw radical conclusions from Hegel's philosophy to prove the necessity for a bourgeois reform of the German state.
For a time, Feuerbach and also Marx and Engels in their youth were a part of the Young Hegelians.
Marx and Engels soon broke with them and criticized the idealist trend in The Holy Family (1844) and The German Ideology (1845-46).

 Centrism and Political Moderates   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In the Western world, to occupy the center means to be between the left wing ('liberalism") and right wing ("conservatism") and their respective ideologies.
They adopted the right-wing / left-wing paradigm, with the radicals calling themselves "left Hegelians" and the more conservative students calling themselves "right Hegelians." It was at this time that a bright young man (and aspiring Romantic poet) enrolled and started hanging out with the Left Hegelians.
So the mainstream, typically Democrat left wing is a far cry from the radical leftism espoused by Marx and still active outside the edifices of government by, for example, the anti-globalism movement.

Carrying on left Kantian concerns have been the young Hegel, the left Hegelians, Marx, Nietzsche, and the twentieth century critical theorists.
Preoccupation with the allegedly dehumanizing nature of modern institutions was allowed by two conceptual innovations, the first of which, originally made by Rousseau but introduced into Germany in a modified form by Kant, is the idea that 'human' is a term of distinction among men, not a species characteristic distinguishing man from animals.

In the eyes of conservative Hegelians and orthodox theologians, Bauer's ideological inversion was a double tragedy; not only had the dangerous Hegelians of the left gained a powerful thinker, but the conservatives had lost, in him, one of their most promising young champions.
This Hegelian Nothing is not the substantialized Nichts of Heidegger, but only the second moment in the passage of thought from the empty concept of Being to its final goal in the fullness of Absolute Knowledge.
As it was earlier noted, in Hegelianism, the question regarding the metaphysical priority of Being or its opposite is one that leads directly to the issue of when man's philosophic enterprise began.

 Max Stirner
Stirner had left his teaching post shortly before the book was published, and, by 1846, having squandered much of his second wife's inheritance, he was reduced to advertising in the Vossische Zeitung for a loan.
Many years later she was traced by Stirner's loyal biographer, the poet and novelist John Henry Mackay (1864-1933), to a Roman Catholic religious community in England.
However, Stirner rejects this hypothetical explanation, insisting that, provided “the pliable girl were conscious of having left her self-will unsatisfied and humbly subjected herself to a higher power” (197), we should see her actions as governed by piety rather than egoism.

On the one hand, Stirner was deeply influenced from the Left Hegelians such as Feuerbach and Bruno Bauer, and yet he criticized because, according to Stirner, they were not radical enough in their understanding of the nature of human-being.
In this sense, Marx and the Left Hegelians, who, still in the trust of the European Reason, dreamed of a revolution to overcome the ills and problems of the social political conditons of the time may be characterized rather n a i v e.
Contrary to them, the Left Hegelians were in general materialists in ontology and hard line social reformers and political radicals in political ideology, most of them were eager to turn upside down the social structure and dreaming a political and social revolution tomorrow.

The Old Hegelians, who largely felt that with Hegel’s system, philosophy had practically come to an end, and the Young Hegelians, who believed the dialectics could be applied in a radical critique of especially the church and the state.
Where the Old Hegelians meant that Hegel’s spirit of history was a guarantee for a politically stable, conservative tide of affairs, which would only naturally strengthen the unshakeable institutions of man’s society, the Young Hegelians used the dialectics in their rebellion against those self-same institutions.
The key argument of the Left Hegelians is that this «spirit of history» in itself leads to another kind of dualism, a new eternal truth, which man has to obey as his master.
