Lectures on the Philosophy of History

Meer over het boek

The Lectures on the Philosophy of History presents a comprehensive analysis of world history, exploring the interplay between freedom and the state. Hegel argues that the evolution of freedom is the driving force of history, yet it requires a strong state to uphold the rule of law for it to thrive. This complete translation offers insights into Hegel's mature thoughts and raises questions about his influence on the formation of the modern power-state in Germany, making it a significant contribution to philosophical and historical discourse.
