Georg Wilhelm Hegel Books

A seminal German philosopher and a foundational figure of German Idealism, this thinker developed an intricate system for understanding the historical progression of ethics, government, and religion. His approach, rooted in Kant's transcendental idealism and Rousseau's political thought, centered on the dialectical unfolding of the Absolute. Recognized as a leading historicist philosopher, his work significantly influenced the trajectory of continental philosophy, foreshadowing movements like postmodernism. His profound ideas were later adapted into a materialist ideology by Karl Marx, who was initially part of the Young Hegelian circle.

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).
