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. Hegel's
interpretation of the history of philosophy not only played a
central role in the shaping of his own thought, but also has had a
great influence on the development of historical thinking. In his
own view the study of the history of philosophy is the study of
philosophy itself. This explains why such a large proportion of his
lectures, from 1805 to 1831, the year of his death, were about
history of philosophy. The text of these lectures, presented here
in the first authoritative English edition, is therefore a document
of the greatest importance in the development of Western thought:
they constitute the very first comprehensive history of philosophy
that treats philosophy itself as undergoing genuine historical
development. And they are crucial for understanding Hegel's own
systematic works such as the Phenomenology, the Logic, and the
Encyclopedia, for central to his thought is the theme of spirit as
engaged in self-realization through the processes of historical
change. Furthermore, they played a crucial role in one of the
determining events of modern intellectual history: the rise of a
new consciousness of human life, culture, and intellect as
historical in nature. This third volume of the lectures covers the
medieval and modern periods, and includes fascinating discussion of
scholastic, Renaissance, and Reformation philosophy, and of such
great modern thinkers as Descartes, Locke, Leibniz, and especially
Kant.
