In 1820, in the middle of the conservative reaction, Hegel published the Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts, and Fichte’s colleagues edited his Staatslehre and published it posthumously. By focusing on the political context, this paper analyses the conception of state at stake in the two texts, and its relationship with the monarchical principle. The work emphasizes the tensions inside Hegel’s doctrine of the power of the Prince and its hereditary character, and sheds light on Fichte’s position, which in turn defends the necessity to repeal monarchy in a constitutional state. At the same time, the paper shows that the functions and meanings of the political theology underlying both the works are radically opposite.
