Document Summary
Lecture 3: reading 1: marx and engles the german. Written in 1845-6 but not published long after their death. The ideas of the ruling class are the ruling ideas. Germany has in the last few years gone through unparalleled revolution. Religion and theological were the bases of most concepts. Gradually every dominant relationship was pronounced a religious relationship and transformed into a cult, a cult of law, a cult of state, etc. The old hegelians had comprehended everything as soon as it was reduced to an hegelian logical category. The young hegelians criticized everything by attributing to it religious conceptions or by pronouncing it a theological matter. The young hegelians are in agreement with the old hegelians in their belief in the rule of religion, of concepts, of a universal principle in the existing world. Only, the on party attacks this domain as usurpation, while the other extols it as legitimate.
