About the author

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) was a German philosopher and one of the founding figures of German Idealism. Influenced by Kant's transcendental idealism and Rousseau's politics, Hegel formulated an elaborate system of historical development of ethics, government, and religion through the dialectical unfolding of the Absolute. Hegel was one of the most well-known historicist philosopher, and his thought presaged continental philosophy, including postmodernism. His system was inverted into a materialist ideology by Karl Marx, originally a member of the Young Hegelian faction.

Reviews

[Erik Graff · Rating 2 out of 5]

The contents of this book are extracted portions of the Phenomenology, Philosophical Propaedeutics, Philosophy of History, Philosophy of Right, Lectures on Aesthetics & the Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences. I don't recommend purchasing collections of extracts and only read those portions not previously studied.
