Excerpt from book: Spirit, and in the History of the World regard everything as only its manifestation, we have, in traversing the past? however extensive its periods?only to do with what is present; for philosophy, as occupying itself with the True, has to do with the eternally fresenL Nothing in the past is lost for it, for the Idea is ever present; Spirit is immortal; with it there is no past, no future, but an essential now. This necessarily implies that the present form of Spirit comprehends within it all earlier steps. These have indeed unfolded themselves in succession independently; but what Spirit is it has always been essentially; distinctions are only the development of this essential nature. The life of the ever present Spirit is a circle of progressive embodiments, which looked at in one aspect still exist beside each other, and only as looked at from another point of view appear as past. The grades which Spirit seems to have left behind it, it still possesses in the depths of its present. GEOGRAPHICAL BASIS OF HISTORY Contrasted with the universality of the moral Whole and with the unity of that individuality which is its active principle, the natural connecticm that helps to produce the Spirit of a People, appears an extrinsic element; but inasmuch as we must regard it as the ground on which that Spirit plays its part, it is an essential and necessary basis. We began with the assertion that, in the History of the World, the Idea of Spirit appears in its actual embodiment as a series of external forms, each one of which declares itself as an actually existing people. This existence falls under the category of Time as well as Space, in the way of natural existence; and the special principle, which every world-historical people embodies, has this principle at the same time as a nat...

Philosophy of Right

By: Georg H. W. Hegel,Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Considered by some the best introduction to and explication of the thought of German Idealist philosopher GEORG WILHELM FRIEDRICH HEGEL (17701831), this 1896 translation by SAMUEL WATERS DYDE (b. 1862) of the philosophers great 1821 work offers a succinct but comprehensive discussion of concepts of free will. A philosophical disciple of Kant, Hegel saw that free will could exist only within the larger context of human life: of family, of work, of legality and moralityhuman freedom, Hegel believed could not exist in a vacuum but only via an individuals interactions with the social networks of humanity. Hegels understanding of the individuals impact on such grand canvases as history itself exerted an unparalleled influence on German philosophy throughout the 19th century, including upon Karl Marx and his Communist Manifesto. Philosophy of Right, then, deserves a place in the essential library of anyone wishing to understand modern political thinking.

Faith and Knowledge

By: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

A new translation directly from the original manuscript of Hegel's "Faith and knowledge or the reflective philosophy of subjectivity in the completeness of its forms as Kantian, Jacobian and Fichtean philosophy". The original title in German is "Glauben und Wissen oder die Reflexionsphilosophie der Subjektivität in der Vollständigkeit ihrer Formen als Kantische, Jacobische und Fichtesche Philosophie". This edition contains an extensive afterword on Hegelian philosophy by the translator and a timeline of his life and works. This essay was first published in the "Kritisches Journal der Philosophie," which was edited by Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. It appeared in the 2nd volume, 1st installment of the journal in Tübingen, published by Cotta in 1802. In it, Hegel discusses how various philosophers like Kant, Jacobi, and Fichte have dealt with the concept of the Absolute, indicating that it is beyond reason's grasp. Hementions the limitations of reason in understanding the Absolute and how philosophers have turned to faith when faced with the unknowable. Hegel suggests that the idea that reason is subordinate to faith, as expressed in older times, and against which philosophy vehemently asserted its absolute autonomy, has disappeared. Reason has asserted itself within positive religion, and there is now a sense that the conflict between philosophy and the positive aspects of religion, such as miracles, is considered obsolete and obscure.

Hegel's Preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit

By: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

This is a new translation, with running commentary, of what is perhaps the most important short piece of Hegel's writing. The Preface to Hegel's first major work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, lays the groundwork for all his other writing by explaining what is most innovative about Hegel's philosophy. This new translation combines readability with maximum precision, breaking Hegel's long sentences and simplifying their often complex structure. At the same time, it is more faithful to the original than any previous translation. The heart of the book is the detailed commentary, supported by an introductory essay. Together they offer a lucid and elegant explanation of the text and elucidate difficult issues in Hegel, making his claims and intentions intelligible to the beginner while offering interesting and original insights to the scholar and advanced student. The commentary often goes beyond the particular phrase in the text to provide systematic context and explain related topics in Hegel and his predecessors (including Kant, Spinoza, and Aristotle, as well as Fichte, Schelling, Hölderlin, and others). The commentator refrains from playing down (as many interpreters do today) those aspects of Hegel's thought that are less acceptable in our time, and abstains from mixing his own philosophical preferences with his reading of Hegel's text. His approach is faithful to the historical Hegel while reconstructing Hegel's ideas within their own context.

How Common Sense Understands Philosophy - illustrated in the works of Mr. Krug

By: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

A new translation directly from the original manuscript of Hegel's commentary on Wilhelm Traugott Krug, a Kantian logistician, and his system which Hegel refers to as "Krugian synthetism". This edition contains an extensive afterword on Hegelian philosophy by the translator and a timeline of his life and works. Mr Krug's philosophical endeavours can be divided into two aspects: one polemical against transcendental idealism and the other concerning his own philosophical convictions. In his polemical approach against transcendental idealism, Mr Krug adopts a sceptical stance, arguing that he should base his critique of the science of knowledge on the science itself, rather than merely expressing his own beliefs. He emphasises the need for scientific scrutiny and maintains a respectful tone even when criticising epistemology. Krug's letters are critical of transcendental idealism, especially the systems of Fichte and Schelling. He points out what he sees as inconsistencies and limitations in these philosophical approaches, while maintaining a respectful and scholarly tone throughout his critique. Mr Krug's critique of Schelling's transcendental philosophy is similar in tone and content to his critique of Fichte's system. He raises questions about Schelling's system, emphasises the need for logical consistency, and openly expresses his objections.

Hamann's Writings

By: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

A new translation directly from the original manuscript of Hegel's commentary on Johann Georg Hamann's philosophy. This edition contains an extensive afterword on Hegelian philosophy and a timeline of his life and works. Johann Georg Hamann was a significant figure in German philosophy during the 18th century, known for his contributions to the Sturm und Drang literary movement and his influence on later philosophers, particularly Immanuel Kant and Søren Kierkegaard. His writings often revolved around religious and philosophical themes, and they had a profound impact on the development of German Romanticism and existentialism.

Hegel: Elements of the Philosophy of Right

By: Georg Wilhelm Fredrich Hegel

This book is a translation of a classic work of modern social and political thought, Elements of the Philosophy of Right. Hegel's last major published work, is an attempt to systematize ethical theory, natural right, the philosophy of law, political theory and the sociology of the modern state into the framework of Hegel's philosophy of history. Hegel's work has been interpreted in radically different ways, influencing many political movements from far right to far left, and is widely perceived as central to the communication tradition in modern ethical, social and political thought. This edition includes extensive editorial material informing the reader of the historical background of Hegel's text, and explaining his allusions to Roman law and other sources, making use of lecture materials which have only recently become available. The new translation is literal, readable and consistent, and will be informative and scholarly enough to serve the needs of students and specialists alike.

Hegel, the Essential Writings

By: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

This book of Hegalian selections by Professor Weiss is ... very valuable. the passages incorporated are quite excellently chosen. Professor Weiss has included a long excerpt from the introductory chapters of the 'Encyclopaedia', which are Hegel's own, most successful attempt to introduce his system. He has also included some colorful sections from the 'Phenomenology', some weighty sections from the 'Science of Logic', as also the magnificently revealing paragraphs on the Absolute Idea at the end of 'Logic' in the 'Encyclopaedia'. There are also good excerpts from the 'Philosophy of Nature' and 'Philosophy of Right'. And since the translations are good, a great deal of the difficult self-revisionary thought of Hegel comes across, helped by Professor Weiss's own valuable comments."--Foreword.

Solger's Posthumous Writings and Correspondence

By: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

A new translation directly from the original manuscript of Hegel's essay "Solger's Posthumous Writings and Correspondence". This edition contains an extensive afterword on Hegelian philosophy by the translator and a timeline of his life and works. Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand Solger was a philosopher focusing on the nature of irony, and is considered to be broadly a part of the Romantic movement. Hegel argues that if knowledge derived from reason cannot gain general consensus and philosophers remain in constant disagreement, this suggests that the pursuit of such knowledge is an unattainable end goal based on a shared deception. He also doubts the abilities of philosophers to achieve such knowledge.

On the Scientific Treatment of Natural Law

By: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

A new translation directly from the original manuscript of Hegel's "On the Scientific Treatment of Natural Law its place in practical philosophy and its relationship to the positive legal sciences". This edition contains an extensive afterword on Hegelian philosophy by the translator and a timeline of his life and works. Hegel discusses how natural law, like other sciences, has often been viewed through a mechanistic lens. Physics, as an example, is seen as a philosophical science, but the philosophical aspects of it were historically separated into metaphysics, while empirical aspects were emphasized. He argues that philosophical sciences should maintain a conscious connection with philosophy and be rooted in it. Each part of philosophy can become an independent science with inner necessity, grounded in the Absolute. However, the idea itself remains free and reflects itself in individual sciences without losing its purity.
