Autor

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) remains one of the most profound and influential philosophers in the Western tradition. Born in Stuttgart, Germany, Hegel's intellectual journey led him to Jena, Heidelberg, and finally to Berlin, where he held a prestigious chair in philosophy until his death. Hegel's philosophy is characterized by his dialectical method, which sees the development of ideas and history as driven by contradiction and conflict, leading to a higher synthesis. His works, such as 'Phenomenology of Spirit' (1807) and 'Science of Logic' (1812-1816), are seminal texts in the realm of German idealism, providing a groundbreaking framework for examining the unfolding of human consciousness, politics, society, and art. 'Hegel's Lectures', while not initially published as books by Hegel himself, were meticulously transcribed and edited from student notes and his own preparatory material. They include his 'Lectures on the Philosophy of History', 'Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion', and 'Lectures on Aesthetics', posthumously published, and continue to be a cornerstone of Hegelian scholarship. Through these lectures, readers gain an expansive insight into his philosophic system, so vital to the fields of metaphysics, phenomenology, political theory, theology, and art criticism. Hegel's dialectical system, his encyclopedic knowledge of diverse subjects, and his commitment to the idea that 'the rational alone is real' have left an indelible mark on the intellectual landscape that can still be felt today.
