Thomas Nipperdey. Positivität und Christentum in Hegels Jugendschriften

»Positivity and Christianity in Hegel's Youth Writings«: This first printing of the dissertation from 1953 shows clearly the philosophical background of Nipperdey's important historical work. His studies of idealistic-religious thinking of Hegel and Kierkegaard opens the view of the historian on the dialectical relationship of external circumstances and subjective creative power that comes to reality in the history of states und offers chances of more liberal constitutions.
