"Hegel's Geschichte der Philosophie was one of the grand products
of the renaissance in historical learning that took place in early
nineteenth-century Germany. . . . Hegel remains relevant today for
his recognition that any self-critical philosophy must include a
knowledge of its own history. A self-aware philosopher, Hegel
firmly believed, knew where his ideas came from and their social
and cultural context. . . . This is still the only available
translation of all three volumes of Hegel's history."-Frederick C.
Beiser. "The main reason why Hegel will remain worthy of study lies
in his incomparable gathering together of the whole range of human
experience into vital connection with what is best in that
experience. . . . He is, without doubt, the Aristotle of our
post-Renaissance world."-J. N. Findlay, Hegel: A Re-examination. G.
W. F. Hegel (1770-1831), the influential German philosopher,
believed that human history was advancing spiritually and morally
according to God's purpose. At the beginning of this masterwork,
Hegel writes: "What the history of Philosophy shows us is a
succession of noble minds, a gallery of heroes of thought, who, by
the power of Reason, have penetrated into the being of things, of
nature and of spirit, into the Being of God, and have won for us by
their labours the highest treasure, the treasure of reasoned
knowledge." In his introduction to this Bison Book edition,
Frederick C. Beiser notes the complex and controversial history of
Hegel's text. He makes a case that this English-language
translation by E. S. Haldane and Frances H. Simson is still the
most reliable one. A professor of philosophy at Indiana University,
Beiser is the author of The Fate of Reason: German Philosophy from
Kante to Fichte.

into the being of things, of nature and of spirit, into the Being
of God, and have won for us by their labours the highest treasure,
the treasure of reasoned knowledge." Volume 3 of Lectures on the
History of Philosophy, titled Medieval and Modern Philosophy for
this Bison Books edition, begins with a survey of the philosophy of
the middle ages, leaving the pagan world for the Christian and
extending to the sixteenth century A.D. Hegel shows how scholastic
theology and philosophy developed through the efforts of Peter
Lombard, Thomas Aquinas, and others. Hegel's treatment of the
modern period of philosophy focuses on Bacon, Descartes, Spinoza,
Locke, Hobbes, Leibnitz, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Fichte.

the History of Philosophy, titled Plato and the Platonists for this
Bison Books edition, introduces the most renowned disciple of
Socrates and the theory of Platonic forms before moving to Plato's
disciple, Aristotle, whose advance to scientific thinking is
carefully detailed. The subsequent increasing systematization and
sophistication of philosophy leads to a discussion of the Stoics,
Epicureans, and Sceptics. The first period in the history of
philosophy comes to maturity with Plotinus in the third century
