The Hegel Lectures Series Series Editor: Peter C. Hodgson Hegel's
lectures have had as great a historical impact as the works he
himself published. Important elements of his system are elaborated
only in the lectures, especially those given in Berlin during the
last decade of his life. The original editors conflated materials
from different sources and dates, obscuring the development and
logic of Hegel's thought. The Hegel Lectures series is based on a
selection of extant and recently discovered transcripts and
manuscripts. The original lecture series are reconstructed so that
the structure of Hegel's argument can be followed. Each volume
presents an accurate new translation accompanied by an editorial
introduction and annotations on the text, which make possible the
identification of Hegel's many allusions and sources. Lectures on
the Proofs of the Existence of God Hegel lectured on the proofs of
the existence of God as a separate topic in 1829. He also discussed
the proofs in the context of his lectures on the philosophy of
religion (1821-31), where the different types of proofs were
considered mostly in relation to specific religions. The text that
he prepared for his lectures in 1829 was a fully formulated
manuscript and appears to have been the first draft of a work that
he intended to publish and for which he signed a contract shortly
before his death in 1831. The 16 lectures include an introduction
to the problem of the proofs and a detailed discussion of the
cosmological proof. Philipp Marheineke published these lectures in
1832 as an appendix to the lectures on the philosophy of religion,
together with an earlier manuscript fragment on the cosmological
proof and the treatment of the teleological and ontological proofs
as found in the 1831 philosophy of religion lectures. Hegel's 1829
lectures on the proofs are of particular importance because they
represent what he actually wrote as distinct from auditors'
transcriptions of oral lectures. Moreover, they come late in his
career and offer his final and most seasoned thinking on a topic of
obvious significance to him, that of the reality status of God and
ways of knowing God. These materials show how Hegel conceived the
connection between the cosmological, teleological, and ontological
proofs. All of this material has been newly translated by Peter C.
Hodgson from the German critical editions by Walter Jaeschke. This
edition includes an editorial introduction, annotations on the
text, and a glossary and bibliography.
