Abstract

This article analyzes some passages of the writing The Constitution of Germany that reveal young Hegel’s embryonic concept of ethical life. Initially, it presents the tension between the old imperial Constitution and the modern society that prevented the unification of the German people. It then indicates the elements of the old Constitution that needed to be revitalized in the nineteenth-century Germany in order to reconcile private and public rights. Finally, it explains the debate held by the young Hegel with the jusnaturalists and the positivists, whose purpose was to grasp the speculative sense of absolute ethical life.
