Description: Hegel: Lectures on the Philosophy of World History, Volume I by Peter C. Hodgson, Robert F. Brown Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Brown and Hodgson present a new English edition of Hegels 1822-3 lectures on the philosophy of world history. Here he sets out his vision of the development of reason, spirit, and culture in human history, as it advances inexorably towards the establishment of a political state of free, fully self-conscious individuals and just institutions. Publisher Description This edition makes available an entirely new version of Hegels lectures on the development and scope of world history. Volume I presents Hegels surviving manuscripts of his introduction to the lectures and the full transcription of the first series of lectures (1822-23). These works treat the core of human history as the inexorable advance towards the establishment of a political state with just institutions-a state that consists of individuals with a free andfully-developed self-consciousness. Hegel interweaves major themes of spirit and culture-including social life, political systems, commerce, art and architecture, religion, and philosophy-with anhistorical account of peoples, dates, and events. Following spirits quest for self-realization, the lectures presented here offer an imaginative voyage around the world, from the paternalistic, static realm of China to the cultural traditions of India; the vast but flawed political organization of the Persian Empire to Egypt and then the Orient; and the birth of freedom in the West to the Christian revelation of free political institutions emerging in the medieval and modern Germanic world.Brown and Hodgsons new translation is an essential resource for the English reader, and provides a fascinating account of the world as it was conceived by one of historys most influentialphilosophers. The Editorial Introduction surveys the history of the texts and provides an analytic summary of them, and editorial footnotes introduce readers to Hegels many sources and allusions. For the first time an edition is made available that permits critical scholarly study, and translates to the needs of the general reader. Author Biography Robert F.
