Life of Jesus (Hegel)

Life of Jesus (German: Das Leben Jesu) is one of the earliest works by G. W. F. Hegel. It remained an unpublished fragment, found amongst his posthumous papers. In this essay on morality he presents a version of Jesus very similar to Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative; it also stays close to Kant's Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone. For Hegel the moment Jesus cried out "why hast thou forsaken me", was the moment he knew sin and evil, for evil is the separation of the individual from the universal.
