About this ebook
History and System represents the first contemporary volume on Hegels philosophy of history to be published in English. The editor notes that with the possible exceptions of Augustine and Vico, no philosopher before Hegel had such a deep sense of the mutual penetration of history and philosophy as did Hegel. Historical reflection influenced his reading of other philosophers and philosophical reason penetrated his views of past events and eras.
Reflecting the best of Hegelian scholarship, the papers here focus on the sources of Hegels philosophy of history, its internal structure and relation to other parts of his system, analyses of specific aspects of his philosophy of history, and its influence on subsequent thinkers. In its breadth and depth, the volume attests to the continued and growing importance of Hegels thought for contemporary philosophy.
