Abstract

The present tome is the first of a three-volume work dedicated to exploring the profound influence of G.W.F. Hegelâs philosophical thinking in Golden Age Denmark. The work demonstrates that the largely overlooked tradition of Danish Hegelianism played a profound and indeed constitutive role in many spheres of the Golden Age including philosophy, theology, literature, literary criticism, aesthetics, poetry, drama, history, and law. Moreover, it brought into its orbit several of the leading figures from this most celebrated period of Danish culture.

This initial tome covers the period from the beginning of the Hegel reception in the Danish Kingdom in the 1820s until the end of 1836. The dominant figure from this period is the poet and critic Johan Ludvig Heiberg, who attended Hegelâs lectures in Berlin in 1824 and then launched a campaign to popularize Hegelâs philosophy among his fellow countrymen. Using his journal KjÃ¸benhavns flyvende Post as an organ of dissemination, Heiberg published numerous articles containing ideas that he had borrowed from Hegel. Several readers felt provoked by Heibergâs Hegelianism and wrote critical responses to him, many of which appeared in KjÃ¸benhavnsposten, the rival of Heibergâs journal. Through these debates Hegelâs philosophy became an important point of reference in different spheres of Danish cultural life.
