Moriz Carrière

Carrière identified himself with the school of the younger Fichte as one who held the theistic view of the world which aimed at reconciling deism with pantheism,[1] and Christianity with science, art, and history, and who were opposed to ultramontanism.

[citation needed] Although no obstinate adherent of antiquated forms and prejudices, he firmly upheld the fundamental truths of Christianity.

[1] He translated the letters of Abélard and Héloise into German, and composed a poem on the last night of the Girondists.

[3] His essay on Cromwell (in Lebensskizzen, 1890) develops his liberal ideas[3] and may be considered his political confession of faith.

[3] During the Franco-Prussian War, he delivered lectures on Die sittliche Weltordnung in den Zeichen und Aufgaben unserer Zeit (Munich, 1870), and on Deutsche Geisteshelden im Elsass (1871).
