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.

The appearance of this translation is a major event in
English-language Hegel studies, for it is more than simply a
replacement for Wallace's translation cum paraphrase. Hegel's
Prefaces to each of the three editions of the Enzyklopadie are
translated for the first time into English. There is a very
detailed Introduction translating Hegel's German, which serves not
only as a guide to the translator's usage but also to Hegel's. Also
included are a detailed bilingual annotated glossary, very
extensive bibliographic and interpretive notes to Hegel's text (28
pp.), an Index of References for works cited in the notes, a select
Bibliography of recent works on Hegel's logic, and a detailed Index
(16 pp.). The translation is guided by the (correct) principle that
rendering Hegel's logical thought clearly and consistently requires
rendering his technical terms logically. . . . This ought
immediately to become the standard translation of this important
work. --Kenneth R. Westphal, in Review of Metaphysics
With this work, Hegel introduced a scientific approach to the study
of the history of philosophy. The author himself regarded this book
as a popular introduction to his entire philosophy, and it ranks
among his most readable and accessible writings. Hegel develops the
concept of history as a rational proceeding, rather than a series
of random events. His doctrine of the historical process --
governed according to the laws of evolution and embodying the
spirit of freedom -- exercised an enormous and enduring influence.

With over 100 works from 20 years of interventions in urban space,
the Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte in Dortmund has
dedicated a large overview exhibition to René Schoemakers (*1972).
From the very beginning, he has rejected any appropriation of the
individual. As a direct reflex, examining the extremisms of the
present has become central to his work, whether Christian or
Islamic, left-wing autonomist or right-wing radical: the latter,
however, in particular, since one of the attempted murders by the
Nationalist Socialist Underground (NSU) in Dortmund was committed
with the backing of a very active right-wing scene. Text in English
and German.
With a full chronology, general introduction, explanatory annotation, glossary and bibliography, this volume seeks to give students with no specialist knowledge access to both the practical and metaphysical aspects of Hegel's political thought. This collection gathers together for the first time in English translation Hegel's most important political writings, other than the Philosophy of Right, and provides insights into how Hegel's educational and religious views conflicted with the political values around which Prussian authorities organized their authoritarian regime.
In "The Phenomenology of Mind, " idealist philosopher Georg Hegel
(1770-1831) defied the traditional epistemological distinction of
objective from subjective and developed his own dialectical
alternative. Remarkable for the breadth and profundity of its
philosophical insights, this work combines psychology, logic, moral
philosophy, and history to form a comprehensive view that
encompasses all forms of civilization. Its three divisions consist
of the subjective mind (dealing with anthropology and psychology),
the objective mind (concerning philosophical issues of law and
morals), and the absolute mind (covering fine arts, religion, and
philosophy).
Complete and unabridged, this edition of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich
Hegel's 1821 classic offers a comprehensive view of the
philosopher's influential system. In the "Philosophy of Right, "
Hegel applies his most important concept -- the dialectics -- to
law, rights, morality, the family, economics, and the state. The
last of Hegel's works to be published in his lifetime, this volume
combines moral and political philosophy to form a sociologic view
dominated by the idea of the state. Hegel defines universal right
as the synthesis between the thesis of an individual acting in
accordance with the law and the occasional conflict of an
antithetical desire to follow private convictions. The state, he
declares, must permit individuals to satisfy both demands, thereby
realizing social harmony and prosperity--the perfect synthesis.
Further, Hegel renounces his formerly favorable assessment of the
French Revolution and rejects the republican form of government,
suggesting instead an idealized form of a constitutional monarchy,
in which ultimate power rests with the sovereign.
This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the
classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer
them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so
that everyone can enjoy them.
This is the first complete translation in over 150 years of what
many consider to be Hegel's most accessible work. The Lectures on
the Philosophy of History are a tour-de-force, an audacious attempt
to summarize world history and the purpose behind it. Was Hegel the
progenitor of the power-state that unified Germany became? The
Lectures, the mature fruit of Hegel's thought, provide many
relevant clues. Hegel saw the growth of freedom as the purpose
behind history, but he also argued that such freedom could not take
root and flourish apart from a state able to impose and enforce the
rule of law.
It may be noted in passing that it was an extraordinary notion of
Kant's to claim that the definition of the straight line as the
shortest distance between two points is a synthetic proposition,
for my concept of straightness contains nothing of size, but only a
quality. In this sense every definition is a synthetic proposition.
What is defined, the straight line, is in the first place the
intuition or representation.
