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 History of Philosophy Volume II: Greek Philosophy Hegel's
Lectures on the History of Philosophy offer one of the best points
of entry to his philosophical system. The second volume (dating
from 1825-6) covers a thousand years of ancient Greek philosophy;
this is the period to which Hegel devoted by far the most
attention, and which he saw as absolutely fundamental for all that
came after it. This edition sets forth clearly, and for the first
time for the English reader, what Hegel actually said. It forms
part of OUP's Hegel Lectures series, presenting accurate new
translations accompanied by editorial introductions and
annotations. These lectures challenged the antiquarianism of
Hegel's contemporaries by boldly contending that the history of
philosophy is itself philosophy, not just history. It portrays the
journey of reason or spirit through time, as reason or spirit comes
in stages to its full development and self-conscious existence,
through the successive products of human intellect and activity.
Hegel's Lectures on the History of Philosophy proved to be
extremely influential on the intellectual history of the past two
centuries. These lectures are crucial to understanding Hegel's own
systematic philosophy in its constructive aspect, as well as his
views on the centrality of reason in human history and culture. The
volume on Greek Philosophy covers the first one thousand years, the
period to which Hegel devoted by far the most attention, and which
he saw as absolutely fundamental for all that came after it. This
edition adapts the considerable editorial resources of the German
edition that it translates, to the needs of the general reader as
well as the serious scholar, so as to constitute an unparalleled
resource on this topic in the English language.
