The present work carries us back to a period which, although
chronologically no more than a generation or so behind us, has
become as foreign to the present generation in Germany as if it
were already a full hundred years old. Yet it was the period of
Germany's preparation for the Revolution of 1848; and all that has
happened in our country since then has been merely a continuation
of 1848, merely the execution of the last will and testament of the
revolution. Just as in France in the eighteenth century, so in
Germany in the nineteenth, a philosophical revolution ushered in
the political collapse. But with what a difference The French were
in open combat with all official science, with the church and often
also the state; their writings were printed beyond the frontier, in
Holland or England, while they themselves were often on the point
of landing in the Bastille. But the Germans were professors,
state-appointed instructors of youth; their writings were
recognized textbooks, and the system rounding off the whole
development---the Hegelian system---was even raised, in some
degree, to the rank of a royal Prussian philosophy of state Was it
possible that a revolution could hide behind these professors,
behind their pedantically obscure phrases, their ponderous,
wearisome sentences? Were not the liberals, the very people who
then passed as the representatives of the revolution, the bitterest
opponents of this brain-befuddling philosophy? But what neither
governments nor liberals saw was seen by at least one man as early
as 1833, and indeed by a man called Heinrich Heine.
