Hegel and Utopia
G.W.F. Hegel is usually held to be anti‐utopian in his political philosophy. I aim to challenge that standard reading, outlining and defending a more positive account of his relation to utopianism. The rational state described in Hegel's Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts (1820) is shown to fit an uncontroversial account of utopia without straining, and two standard reasons for resisting such a characterisation are shown to be based on misund…
An extended Technology Acceptance Model for digital health services among older adults
Digital transformation in the German health system is steadily advancing, yet uptake of digital health services among older adults has been low. Within literature, intention to use these services has been identified as a crucial factor for their uptake. In order to increase this intention, the Technology Acceptance Model can be utilized as a theoretical framework. In our study, we investigate how perceived usefulness and ease of use relate to int…
ICT volunteering as a protective factor for older adults
To successfully use information and communication technologies (ICT) for aging processes, older adults need to have a variety of skills. This study examined whether volunteering is a critical resource for older adults in dealing with the motives for internet use, higher internet self-efficacy, and lower obsolescence. For this purpose, a distinction was made between older adults who perform voluntary work in the ICT field, voluntary work outside t…
Perfektionismus der Autonomie
Der Band versammelt philosophische Beiträge, die den Theorietyp des Autonomieperfektionismus in historischer und systematischer Perspektive beleuchten. Im Zuge von Immanuel Kants Kritik an früheren perfektionistischen Ethikentwürfen – insbesondere die von Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz und Christian Wolff – entsteht ein neuer Theorietyp, der nicht wie die früheren Konzeptionen auf die Beförderung von Glück abzielt, sondern auf die Beförderung von Frei…
Beyond the ‘grand designs’
This chapter explores the utopian preoccupation with the built environment, especially as found in the plans and blueprints of communitarian socialism. In particular, it examines the communitarian proposals of Robert Owen (1771–1858), and the critical response that they provoked within the wider Owenite movement. Owen’s designs were variously criticised for their: architectural conservatism; (self-defeating) ambition; level of abstraction; and su…
More Greatness than Illusion
Gareth Stedman Jones has written a scholarly and interesting biography of Karl Marx, framed by the plausible idea that the ‘authentic’ Marx needs to be recovered from layers of 20th-century misinterpretation. The book focuses more on the political context than the intellectual content of Marx's ideas, and its treatment of the latter has some limitations. Not least, the author underestimates the complexity, interest, and relevance, of certain elem…
On Marxian Utopophobia
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels hold a surprising view about socialist design. They recommend that socialists refrain from serious and sustained reflection on the institutions and ethos of the ideal (socialist) society that they seek to bring about. Marx and Engels insist on the need for detailed and persuasive accounts of the failings of capitalism, but deny the need for similarly detailed and persuasive accounts of what might replace it. The gro…
Karl Marx
Karl Marx (b. 1818-d. 1883) was born into a Jewish family living in the Rhineland region of Prussia. Marx's father was a lawyer whose conversion to Christianity allowed him to continue his career. Marx studied at the universities of Bonn and Berlin, writing a doctoral thesis in ancient philosophy (on the philosophy of nature in Democritus and Epicurus). His political radicalism made it difficult for him to stay in the German Confederation, and hi…
Karl Marx and British Socialism
This chapter traces some connections between Karl Marx and British politics and culture in the nineteenth century. It outlines Marx’s engagement with Chartism, contemporary politics (including his anti-Palmerston campaign), and the International Association. It explores Marx’s attitude towards socialism in Britain, using Robert Owen as a case study. Marx’s balanced view of ‘utopian socialism’ includes a positive assessment of Owen’s critique of c…
Marxism and Ideology
This chapter discusses the account of ideology found in the writings of Karl Marx (1818–83), and its fate in the subsequent Marxist tradition. Marx understood ideology as consisting of certain social ideas which periodically dominate in class-divided societies. More precisely, ideology was characterized as having a particular epistemological standing (being false or misleading), social origin (arising from the opaque structure of class-divided so…
Socialist Turnips
This article examines Friedrich Engels’s little noticed communitarian sympathies, especially as expressed in his 1844 article ‘kommunistischen Ansiedlungen’. These sympathies are in conflict with the considered and more critical view of communitarian socialism that he subsequently came to share with Karl Marx. I have four ambitions in the article: first, to provide some characterisation of this ‘communitarian moment’ in Engels’s early intellectua…
Education and Utopia
The aims of education, and the appropriate means of realising them, are a recurring preoccupation of utopian authors. The utopian socialists Robert Owen (1771–1858) and Charles Fourier (1772–1837) both place human nature at the core of their educational views, and both see education as central to their wider objective of social and political transformation. The greatest philosophical difference between them concerns human nature: whereas Owen saw…
Political Theory
Political theorists are too often silent on questions of method and approach. David Leopold and Marc Stears have assembled a distinguished group of contributors to break that silence and to explain and defend the research methods they utilise in their own work. The result is a rich and varied collection which does not suggest that there is only one right way to conduct political theory, but rather introduces readers to many of the often unelabora…
The Young Karl Marx
The Young Karl Marx is an innovative and important study of Marx's early writings. These writings provide the fascinating spectacle of a powerful and imaginative intellect wrestling with complex and significant issues, but they also present formidable interpretative obstacles to modern readers. David Leopold shows how an understanding of their intellectual and cultural context can illuminate the political dimension of these works. An erudite yet …

Socialism and (the rejection of) utopia
A study of some of the many connections (both conceptual and historical) between socialism and utopia, this article examines the socialist rejection of utopia using the examples of Marxism (Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels) and early Fabianism (Sidney Webb and H.G. Wells). Once the concept of utopia is unpacked (as intentional community, a vision of an ideal society, a detailed description of an ideal society, and a literary genre), the socialist r…

The Philosophy and Politics of Bruno Bauer
The Philosophy and Politics of Bruno Bauer, Douglas Moggach, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003, pp. x, 290 Bruno Bauer (1809-1882) is neither a well-known nor an easily accessible figure. Despite making a significant contribution both to the evolution of Hegelianism and to nineteenth-century German controversies about the historical Jesus, his work is now little read and only infrequently discussed. His name appears often enough, not le…
A Left-Hegelian Anarchism
INTRODUCTION It is a commonplace to observe that the left-Hegelian Max Stirner (1806-56) is little-known.gure in the history of political and philosophical thought. However, that obscurity should not be exaggerated. The author of Der Einzige und sein Eigentum (a work known in English as The Ego and Its Own) is not only familiar to certain rather specialised and largely academic circles-those with an interest in Hegelianism, for example, or in the…

Max Stirner
Max Stirner's The Ego and Its Own is striking and distinctive in both style and content. First published in 1844, Stirner's distinctive and powerful polemic sounded the death-knell of left Hegelianism, with its attack on Ludwig Feuerbach, Bruno and Edgar Bauer, Moses Hess and others. It also constitutes an enduring critique of both liberalism and socialism from the perspective of an extreme eccentric individualism. Karl Marx was only one of many …
