Question

This school of thought constitutes “an essay in the comical” according to a thinker who compared it to a massive castle whose builder opts to instead live in a nearby thatched hut. The jargon of this school of thought is parodied in The Battle between the Old and the New Soap Cellars. This school was championed by a pastor who turned against it after a divine revelation that is critiqued in The Book on Adler. This school’s “assistant professors” and “Herr Professor” were criticized by a philosopher who also hated “the (*) crowd” and “Christendom.” (-5[1])This school’s aphorism that “the truth is the whole” (10[1])is replaced with truth as subjectivity in Concluding Unscientific Postscript by Søren Kierkegaard, who attacked it as “the system” and used its terminology (10[1])in phrases like “infinite absolute negativity.” (-5[2])For 10 points, what school of thought (10[1])split into “left” and “right” (10[3])branches (10[2])after the death of the author (10[1])of The Philosophy of Right? ■END■ (10[5]0[1])

ANSWER: Hegelianism [accept absolute idealism; accept Left Hegelians or Right Hegelians; accept “the System” until “system” is read; prompt on dialectics, idealism, or speculative philosophy]
