TESTI / Manfred Frank
Paulus’ printed annotations from the course which Schelling gave during the winter-term of 1841/42 at Berlin university were, besides the Preface to Cousin (and other students’ copies of Schelling’s earlier lecture-courses which uncontrollably circulated all over Europe), the decisive source for Feuerbach’s and Marx’ critique of Hegel’s ontology. In what follows, I first situate the Berlin event in its historical context and then show that Marx takes over Schelling’s critique point by point, including the idea of a profound ‘alienation’ between ‘human reality’ and nature.
