Summary/Abstract: Ernst Moriz Arndt is today commonly accepted as one among the first German liberals, or, more precisely, national liberals. Like other German liberals of his time, he was very concerned about political developments in France and devoted much of his writings in explaining what is actually happening in France since 1789. The ideas of French revolution played important role in the intellectual formation of Ernst Moritz Arndt, although he was never prepared to accept them without large amount of criticism. In the article, the author endeavors to give insight in the Arndt's main political ideas at the beginning of the 19th century and to explain ambiguities of the impact that the French revolution had on them.
