ABSTRACT
Carl (or sometimes, Karl) Daub (1765-1836) is known today as little more than a footnote in the development of the right-Hegelian school. In this context he is often mentioned together with figures such as Philipp Marheineke (1780-1846), Karl Rosenkranz (1805-79) and Carl Friedrich Göschel (1784-1861). He was, however, a profoundly influential theologian in his own right and was recognized as such in his age. Indeed, in one account he is ranked together with Goethe (1749-1832), Hegel (1770-1831), Fichte (1762-1814) and Schleiermacher (1768-1834).1 Daub authored a number of books which were significant for both the philosophical and the theological discussions of the day.
