2. 1840, the new king of Prussia, Frederick William IV, acceded to the throne, persecuted liberal Democrats, and demanded that all publications must be strictly examined, so universities lost their academic freedom. Professor F. W.von Shelling of Berlin University appointed by the new king will examine Marx's doctoral thesis, but the position that philosophy is higher than theology in Marx's doctoral thesis cannot be accepted by anti-Hegelian professors, so Marx changed his doctoral thesis to Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach.
3. 184 1 year, Marx applied for a degree with his thesis "The Difference between democritus's Natural Philosophy and Epicurus' Natural Philosophy", which was unanimously approved by the Committee. Without further defense, he successfully obtained a doctorate in philosophy from Jena University. After graduation, he became the editor-in-chief of Rheinische Zeitung and met the well-known "forest theft problem" in the history of Marx's thought development.
The thing is this:/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, the industrial revolution swept through Germany, which promoted the development of the landlord economy in China and aggravated the abject poverty of the lower working people. Hunger drove the poor to pick up dead branches and wild fruits in the landlord's forest, and some even destroyed the landlord's hunting grounds and pastures. Although the Prussian Criminal Code 1826 severely punishes the unauthorized felling and theft of trees, the above incidents are still increasing. Many people actually do this in order to be sent to the detention center for prison rations. It is hunger and homelessness that force people to violate forest management regulations.
The Prussian government was very angry with the opinion published by Rheinische Zeitung. They immediately sent someone to seal up Rheinische Zeitung and forced it to stop printing. In a rage, Marx resigned as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. Marx had no regrets about what he had done. On the contrary, he realized the ugly nature of the reactionary government. He is looking for opportunities to continue to resolutely oppose the reactionary government.
1843, the publishing license of Rheinische Zeitung was revoked by the King of Prussia, because Marx published an article criticizing the Russian tsar in the newspaper, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Russian tsar Nicholas I. After receiving the tsar's protest, the King of Prussia ordered the banning of Rheinische Zeitung, and Marx lost his job. During this period, Marx knew that friedrich engels and Engels were the sons of factory owners, but he appreciated Marx's thoughts very much. He often sponsored Marx's activities and life. Marx's academic thought is serious and rigorous, but his life is careless. He often puts off contributing to the newspaper. Engels often assisted Marx in his work and wrote some articles.
