Hegelianism

This was the essence of Marx’s Hegelianism.

It is a continual problem; perhaps examinations are only a pis aller, and we must be content to wait till science instructs us how to gauge mental faculty by experiment without subjecting the philosopher to the ordeal of Latin Prose, and the 'pure scholar' to the test of a possibly useless acquaintance with the true inwardness of Hegelianism.

Philosophy.—Hegelianism is confessedly one of the most difficult of all philosophies.

Thus Hegelianism reduces dogmatism, scepticism and mysticism to factors in philosophy.

At a later date, with the call of Schelling to Berlin in 1841, it became fashionable to speak of Hegelianism as a negative philosophy requiring to be complemented by a “positive” philosophy which would give reality and not mere ideas.
