A retelling of G. W. F. Hegel · 1907

Early Theological Writings

“The young Hegel's unpublished manuscripts, written in Tübingen, Bern and Frankfurt in the 1790s: on what a true 'folk religion' would be; a life of Jesus as a teacher of pure moral reason; how Jesus' teaching hardened into an authoritarian, 'positive' religion; the spirit of Christianity as love overcoming law, and its fate; and a fragment on life and religion in which his later philosophy is first glimpsed.”
