Description: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: Lectures on the Philosophy of World History : Manuscripts of the Introduction and the Lectures of 1822-3, Hardcover by Brown, Robert F. (EDT); Hodgson, Peter C. (EDT); Geuss, William G. (CON), ISBN 0199601704, ISBN-13 9780199601707, Brand New, Free shipping in the US 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 and fully-developed self-consciousness. Hegel interweaves major themes of spirit and culture-including social life, political
systems, commerce, art and architecture, religion, and philosophy-with an historical 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 influential philosophers. 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.
