Hegel and History

By Will Dudley | Publisher: State University of New York Press

About the book

Nearly two centuries after declaring \"the end of history,\" Hegel remains a rich source of insights into our historical nature. The essays collected here interpret and develop those insights, while also challenging Hegel's philosophical approach to comprehend present and future phenomena that he could neither experience nor imagine. They represent the very best in contemporary scholarship on Hegel and history, and collectively they address all of the important and disputed topics in the field: Hegel's claim that history has an end, whether his philosophy of history is Eurocentric or racist, how elements of what he terms \"subjective spirit\" and \"objective spirit\" contribute to historical development, and the relationship between religion and his philosophy of history.
