Hegel's Philosophy of History stands as a fascinating example of
this influential German thinker's efforts to capture the
multidimensional character of reality within a broad theoretical
framework.
Hegel draws upon many of his well-known concepts - Mind, Spirit,
dialectical method (thesis-negation-synthesis), the relation of the
whole to its parts, and how rational human beings relate to that
which transcends their individuality. History is the evolution of
freedom as societies and cultures acquire a greater awareness of,
and appreciation for, the interaction of individuals with the
rational goals and purposes of the greater whole, and how
rationality emerges, evolves, and develops through the dynamic
relationship of each individual citizen's will with that of the
community at large.
Hegel first focuses on the various ways in which history can be
comprehended and then turns his attention to the Oriental, Greek,
Roman, and German worlds to demonstrate how the human community
dialectically evolves through these various historical periods,
with each disclosing its own facet of the will that frees citizens
to grasp their special place in society.
