Item Open Access The early political philosophy of furst Otto von Bismarck from 1848-1852(University Of Oregon, 1996-04) Ladd, Anthony LeonThe political philosophy of Bismarck is often imposed from his later career onto his earlier political activities without asking the question of whether or not the political pragmatism he dearly practiced later in his life was an evolution or whether it was always present even in his earliest political activities when he possessed the reputation of being an arch-conservative in Prussian domestic politics. This thesis seeks to understand his early political philosophy through his interaction with the Revolution of 1848, his role in the Reaction and his attitude and political actions towards Austria during his service in the Federal Diet until late 1852.
