Georg Hegel Series

A philosopher and a foundational figure of German Idealism, this author developed an elaborate system for understanding the historical progression of ethics, government, and religion. Their dialectical approach traces the unfolding of the Absolute, drawing influence from Kantian transcendental idealism and Rousseau's political thought. Recognized as a key historicist philosopher, their work significantly presaged continental philosophy, including postmodernism, and profoundly impacted subsequent thinkers who built upon or reacted against their monumental ideas.
