Marx, the Young Hegelians, and the Origins of Radical Social Theory: Dethroning the Self

Abstract

This is the First Major study of Marx and the Young Hegelians in twenty years. The book offers a new interpretation of Marx's early development, the political dimension of Young Hegelianism, and that movement's relationship to political and intellectual currents in early-nineteenth-century Germany and France. The book draws together an account of major figures such as Feuerbach and Marx, with discussions of lesser-known but significant figures such as Eduard Gans, August Cieszkowski, Moses Hess, and F. W. J. Schelling, as well as of such movements as French Saint-Simonianism and German "Positive Philosophy." Wide-ranging in scope and synthetic in approach, this is an important book for historians of philosophy, theology, political theory, and nineteenth-century ideas.
