Hegel luterano e illuminista, vero maestro di Marx. La lettura critica di Eric Weil

The aim of this paper is to show how Eric Weil’s Hegelian readings bring out both the
Protestant and Enlightenment roots of the Hegelian theory of the State and what concrete
link exists between Hegel and Marx. This interpretation is in clear discontinuity with
both the dominant exegetical vulgates in his time – first of all, the reactionary and the
Marxist orthodox one – and the results of the pseudo-Marxist reading of Hegel proposed
by Alexandre Kojève.
