Shows that the 1848 revolutions played a key role in the development of the political thought of the Young Hegelians, Arnold Ruge, Bruno Bauer, Moses Hess and Karl Marx. This book examines the question of how intellectuals deal with their failure to predict the world, and how theory and the change of theory are related to actual historical events.
