"The pessimism of my book". Carl Einstein in the first blasphemy trial of the Weimar Republic
ABSTRACT: The conviction for blasphemy imposed in 1922 on the writer Carl Einstein for the comedy Die schlimme Botschaft provides us with the opportunity of using the debate on crimes against religion to reflect on the epochal transition from the Wilhelminian Empire to the Weimar Republic. A picture emerges marked by strong contradictions, which manifest themselves also in violent street clashes and innumerable political murders, highlighting that the change of regime and the promulgation of the Constitution were not enough to overcome the profound resistance of a strongly conservative culture, still deeply rooted in the administration, judiciary and army leaders.

El análisis de los fragmentos de 1798 sobre la constitución de Württemberg revela la influencia decisiva del debate sobre las reformas del ducado, iniciado por el reparto, entre los interlocutores sociales, de los costos de las guerras con Francia. Al reivindicar la prerrogativa de aprobar nuevos impuestos, las clases también están promoviendo proyectos de renovación; sin embargo, la Dieta sigue dividida entre la intención de limitar las pretensiones de los duques y los temores de una deriva democrática. Una lectura atenta de las líneas de Hegel, cruzada con un examen del catálogo de su biblioteca, revela interesantes consonancias textuales con la literatura panfletaria contemporánea. En ausencia de nuevos hallazgos textuales, las vacilaciones y las contradicciones hegelianas denunciadas por Haym resultan al menos interesantes para reconstruir el marco de incerteza en el que actúa una generación entera de jacobinos alemanes. ; The analysis of the fragments of 1798 concerning the constitution of Württemberg reveals the decisive influence played by the debate on the reforms in the duchy, started with the distribution of war costs with France among the different social players. By claiming the prerogative of approving new taxes, the social classes are also promoting renovation projects; however, the the fears of a democratic drift. An accurate reading of Hegel's lines, crossed with an analysis of the catalogue of his library, reveals interesting textual consonances with contemporary pamphleteering. Due to the absence of new textual discoveries, the Hegelian hesitations and contradictions denounced by Haym appear, at the very least, interesting to reconstruct the context of uncertainty in which an entire generation of German Jacobins acts.

Il contributo si sofferma sulla valenza dell'idea tra sapere teoretico e pratico: regolativa nel primo e costitutiva nel secondo. A quest'ultimo uso viene ricondotta l'idea di contratto originario, considerato come fonte di legittimazione e pietra di paragone della giustizia delle leggi, nel tentativo di saggiare la coerenza delle argomentazioni kantiane in rapporto alla traduzione politica dei dettami della pura ragione. ; The paper focuses on the Kantian significance of the idea between theoretical and practical knowledge: regulative in the first and constitutive in the second. To practical use is reconnected the idea of original compact, considered as source of legitimacy and touchstone for the justice of laws, in an attempt to test the consistency of Kant's arguments in the political implementation of the dictates of pure reason.
