  The First Hegelians: An Introduction, by Lawrence Stepelevich
In this view, Young Hegelianism is not seen in its usual light -- as a confused extrapolation of Hegel's original thought carried on by visionary disciples of little originality - - but rather as a graduated philosophic response to a debilitating union of religious dogmatism and political power.
Young Hegelianism can be said to have made one of its earliest appearances in a letter that Ludwig Feuerbach sent to Hegel in November of 1828.
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.

  Young Hegelians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Young Hegelians, later known as the Left Hegelians, were a group of students and young professors at the University of Berlin following Georg Hegel's death in 1831.
The Young Hegelians were opposed to the mainstream Right Hegelians who chaired Academic departments and held other prominent positions in the university and the government.
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.

 Max Stirner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While some of the Young Hegelians were eager subscribers to Hegel's dialectical method, and attempted to apply dialectical approaches to Hegel's conclusions, the "left wing" members of the Young Hegelians, e.g.
Stirner worked as a schoolteacher employed in an academy for young girls when he wrote his major work The Ego and Its Own, which in large part is a polemic against both Hegel and some Young Hegelians (e.g.
Stirner's argument explores and extends the limits of Hegelian criticism, aiming his critique especially at those of his contemporaries (particularly colleagues amongst the Young Hegelians, most importantly Ludwig Feuerbach), embracing popular 'ideologies', explicitly including nationalism, statism, liberalism, socialism, communism and humanism.

After Hegel’s death in 1831, the radical Young Hegelians rejected this conclusion as absurd and instead used his emphasis on change as a justification for the democratic transformation of society.
Both Marx and Engels were members of the Young Hegelian movement in Berlin for a time–Marx when he was a student at the University of Berlin and Engels while he was stationed in the city for his military service.

 The Young Hegelian: It's No Cause for Concern   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Firstly the Hegel in 'the Young Hegelian', is intended to refer to the philosopher from whom the present author takes his cue, a philosopher who has been more misunderstood than perhaps any other.
Secondly, the 'Young' in Young Hegelian – a pun on the self-proclaimed youthfulness of the author, but also a nod towards those few critics who had the insight to recognise the aforementioned "openness".
Marx started out, like the Young Hegelians, engaged in a critique of religion, but subsequently determined that his friends had failed to explain exactly why people put their faith in God.

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.

 Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach
The eldest son, Joseph Anselm, became a noted archaeologist and was father of the famous German painter, Anselm Feuerbach, The second son, Edward, became a professor of jurisprudence, and the third, Karl, became a mathematician after whom a proof was named.
Rawidowicz, for example, argues that both texts are "thoroughly Hegelian." The controversy swirls around Feuerbach's use of "Vernunft," "Geist," "Aufhebung", his conception of nature, the relationship of philosophy to religion, and, in the Thoughts, the concept of love.
The Hegelian philosophy is the last magnificent attempt to restore Christianity, which was lost and wrecked, through philosophy and, indeed, to restore Christianity — as is generally done in the modern era — by identifying it with the negation of Christianity.

 Marx, the Young Hegelians, and the Origins of Radical Social Theory : Dethroning the Self (Modern European Philosophy) ...
He shows that the discussion of Hegelian politics cannot be separated from the theologico-philosophical discussion of the period.
The progressive Hegelians' association of Christianity with anti-social egoism suggested to them that "Christian civil society" was the obstacle to the realization of a free republic in Germany or, for some of the most radical among them, the obstacle to the fulfillment of more extreme visions of post-Christian social collectivism.
He rethinks Marx's debt to the Young Hegelians by showing that Marx's critique of bourgeois civil society and the state was as much the culmination of an earlier discourse about civil society as it was the initiation of a new one.

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.

 the young hegelians
The Young Hegelians were an intellectual group whose common theme was the ongoing application of Hegel's dialectical method rather than acceptance of Hegel's philosophical conclusions.
Of primary importance in the Young Hegelian world-view was the belief that Hegel's dialectical method implied that world-history had gone through two antithetical stages; the feeling or materialism of antiquity, and later the modernist epoch of thought in Christianity, and that it was now the philosophers' task to move on to synthetical praxis.
In "Stirner as Hegelian", Lawrence Stepelevich argues that much of Stirner can be understood as reading the Phenomenology with the new and improved view-point that the "we" there is really the one and concrete "I".

Favoring a more nuanced account of the relationship between the overtly political writings of the young Marx and the more theologically oriented Young Hegelians, Breckman emphasizes the continuities and shared concerns that exist between the two rather than their more commonly highlighted disparities.
Breckman argues that this concept provides a link between theological and political disputes such that: "The Young Hegelians' rejection of Christian personalism thus furnishes us with a key to understanding their revolt against religion, monarchy, and bourgeois civil society" (10).
Breckman argues that Marx's critiques of individualism and bourgeois civil society are best understood as emerging from his engagement with the Young Hegelian critiques of political theology in general, and Christian personalism in particular, rather than from any systematic critique of political liberalism.

But it was not these older Hegelians or near-Hegelians who converted the young man to his new vision; it was a group of near-contemporaries, the Young Hegelians.
These young philosophers had formed a little band of heretics who, though in many respects beholden to the master, had moved away from his teachings.
Through them Marx was initiated into the Hegelian world system at the same time as he became a member of a group of iconoclasts who irreverently began to raise awkward and critical questions about major parts of the great man's synthesis.

At that time Hegelian philosophy was regarded as the Prussian State philosophy and the Minister of Culture Altenstein and his Privy Councillor Johannes Schulze had taken it under their special care.
The real leader of the Young Hegelians in Berlin was not Köppen, however, but Bruno Bauer, who was officially recognized as an orthodox pupil of the master, particularly as he had shown great speculative arrogance in an attack on Strauss’ Life of Jesus, a proceeding which earned him a vigorous rebuff from Strauss.
The Young Hegelians were pro-Prussian, even exuberantly so, and whatever else they did which the good bourgeois of Cologne were unable to understand or found suspicious was probably regarded as harmless idiosyncrasies.

When Stirner is considered, his Hegelian background is seldom touched upon for the obvious reason that the great majority of his commentators, academic or otherwise, are evidently unfamiliar with either philosophy in general or Hegelianism in particular.
Paterson’s work occasionally mentions Hegel as being the source of all of the ills of Young Hegelianism in general and Stirner in particular, but does not reach back to Hegel to establish Stirner as his heir, and restricts itself mainly to explicating the content and influence of Stirnerianism.
Although he shared their notion that Hegelianism did not end in Hegel, he rejected their new presuppositions, which took the general form that Hegelianism itself would serve as the basis of a new pursuit of ideals, would itself become an ideal.

Marx's self-presentation was part of the Young Hegelian tendency to emphasise rationality and Enlightenment as against mysticism and Romanticism.

The Hegelian establishment (known as the Right Hegelians) in place at Friedrich-Wilhelms maintained 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 with whom Marx was associated 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 some pockets of poverty, government sponsored censorship and discrimination against non-Lutherans.
The other important contribution to Marx's revision of Hegelianism was Engels' book, The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844, which led Marx to conceive of the historical dialectic in terms of class conflict and to see the modern working class as the most progressive force for revolution.

With the institutionalization of religion, these ideas become separated from their human roots and projected onto alien objects (gods, demons, divine laws), which are viewed as the all-powerful creators and rulers of human beings rather than being recognized as merely the products of the human imagination.
Later Marx came to believe that the Young Hegelians exaggerated the causal importance of religion; he believed that oppression was rooted in material relations, rather than ideas, and that religion was more a symptom than a cause of oppression.
