An English translation of Hegel's introduction to his lectures on
the philosophy of history, based directly on the standard German
edition by Johannes Hoffmeister, first published in 1955. The
previous English translation, by J. Sibree, first appeared in 1857
and was based on the defective German edition of Karl Hegel, to
which Hoffmeister's edition added a large amount of new material
previously unknown to English readers, derived from earlier
editors. In the introduction to his lectures, Hegel lays down the
principles and aims which underlie his philosophy of history, and
provides an outline of the philosophy of history itself. The
comprehensive and voluminous survey of world history which followed
the introduction in the original lectures is of less interest to
students of Hegel's thought than the introduction, and is therefore
not included in this volume.
