Leonhard! 2 Dec. 31,1873 



the old church regime and dogmatism has passed, and. that they 



must return to the religion of Christ, back behind the ehr is- 



tianity of the apostels. Prussia have the clergy ( see above about 



'•Pfaffen'*, E.D. ) to organize (because lacked insight) ; 



it should have encouraged frora the very be Finning the old- ca - 



tholic courage. Nöw it will have to fight through awful battles. 



Möst surprising was for me, that the recently published 



volume by Brockhaus, the posthoumus volume by Kraus w Lectures 



about jurisprudal philosophy* 1 was being reviewed raost favorably 



and recommended by the "Northgerraan Allgemeine Zeitung 11 , whiefr 



forme rly promoted our ef f orts ( on the 2nd page of No. 28fr of 



Sept. 7). The stränge coneept of Krause of Law and the notion of 



law were way ahaed of his tirae.and, for that reason reeeived only 



recognition of late;it corredponds to the requireraents of our 



time. - Up to now the /State was the embodyment of the old-roman 



, based on Lycurgus ( ? E.D. ) ,Hegellan coneept of State, wherein 



the State is all to allU One seems to comprehend from the recent 



battles, that Society is also something, and the state and the 



chirch only organs of society, That, however, is the doctrine of 

 v ^ t _ t faced with the took his 



Krause, to which also mister Hasmer. >mt tm concordat. wXfcöraf 



refuge,when he blcame minister, but who remained He^eliair as Ion* 



as he remained professor in Prawe. As with Krauset turning tcr 



the right (translatioir can be questioned, E.D..) so also fcas the 



11 neue Zeit« with it's practieal-idealistie and also unpracticaV 



efforts, more and more aeeeptance in theolo^ical as well as peda- 



gocic circles.. Unf ortunately . I did not get to the assembling and 



printin* of the pamphlet thanks to all the allotrias of the year.. 



Just write to me, whichr pamphlets you are missing, and I shall 



send them..
