ABSTRACT
There is no doubt that between 1841 and 1845, Karl Marx's relation to G. W.F Hegel is decisive. Marx refers frequently to Hegel and in the Jahrbucher as well as in the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts he presents his own critical project as a critique of Hegel. Hence, it is not surprising that scholarship devoted to the early Marx usually considers his relation to Hegel as central. The chapter describes broadly the type of relationship to Hegel that was involved in conflict of the Left against the Right Hegelianism, and the new relationship to Hegel that was involved in the emergence of the Young Hegelian movement after 1841. The distinction between a Right and a Left was nothing more than an attempt made by David Friedrich Strauss to vindicate his own interpretation of Hegel and to locate it inside the various interpretations are elaborated by the Hegelian school.
