Lectures on the Philosophy of History

The first complete translation in over 150 years offers a fresh perspective on Hegel's exploration of world history and its underlying purpose. In these lectures, he articulates the growth of freedom as a central theme, positing that true freedom requires a state that enforces the rule of law. This work not only delves into historical development but also examines the implications of Hegel's ideas for the unification of Germany and the concept of the power-state, providing valuable insights into his philosophical legacy.
