Hegel's Philosophy of History stands as a fascinating example of
this influential German thinker's efforts to capture the
multidimensional character of reality within a broad theoretical
framework.
Hegel draws upon many of his well-known concepts - Mind, Spirit,
dialectical method (thesis-negation-synthesis), the relation of the
whole to its parts, and how rational human beings relate to that
which transcends their individuality. History is the evolution of
freedom as societies and cultures acquire a greater awareness of,
and appreciation for, the interaction of individuals with the
rational goals and purposes of the greater whole, and how
rationality emerges, evolves, and develops through the dynamic
relationship of each individual citizen's will with that of the
community at large.
Hegel first focuses on the various ways in which history can be
comprehended and then turns his attention to the Oriental, Greek,
Roman, and German worlds to demonstrate how the human community
dialectically evolves through these various historical periods,
with each disclosing its own facet of the will that frees citizens
to grasp their special place in society.

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).
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.
