Hegel's understanding of why the state should be founded on religious values but not itself be influenced by religious piety or congregations is explored. There is some discussion of the tension between his philosophy and Prussian authorities in Berlin. Hegel's political liberalism appears to have compromised by both civil and religious authorities of his day.

The 91st annual meeting of the American Philosophical Association, Central Division, took place in Chicago this spring at the Palmer House. To the delight of many, Hegel topics were present and Hegelians were in good attendance. There were two fine discussions of Hegel’s works and ideas.
