I removed the redirect on this page and added what you see because there was a link on the Hegel page to this page, creating a self-redirect. Rather than removing the link altogether (which seemed like a bad idea because it might discourage people from actually writing about the Lectures), I decided to create a stub. I know the article is ugly now, so if anyone has other ideas, please don't hesitate. Or, better yet, write a real article! --Anakolouthon 18:16, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

it's the "philosophy of history" not "history of philosophy" - this is probably why no one has written anything. please change title of article.

Cleanup

I started. The lectures are commonly used as intro to Hegel's philosophy, so something needed to be written, though it's not a lot by any means. Also, the state of the text needed to be addressed, so people can actually know what they are holding when they have a copy of the lectures. They aren't all uniform, and there is still no full English trans. of the complete German lectures. Have fun with the article, I've done all I want to do for a while.

Critical Editions -- incorrect information in article

Walter Jaeschke's edition has generally superseded the (highly problematic, almost useless) Lasson edition, and that's what you find at Meiner Verlag today. Moreover, the 1840 2nd edition which is the basis for Suhrkamp's edition was put together by Bruno Bauer, not by Hegel's son. Austinmgross 08:27, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should this voice be listed under conservatism?

May I enquire as to how is a voice on Hegel's philosophy of history lectures part of conservatism in any way? I'm of the opinion that politcal colouring should be taken out, especially considering that Hegel's view of history profoundly influenced marxist thought, not exactly very conservative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.15.211.236 (talk) 03:30, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot about this part of Hegel's philosophy that is quite conservative. Such a prominent sidebar, though, might be a violation of WP:NPOV. Also, neither Hegel nor these lectures are included in the sidebar. So I'm going to go ahead and remove it (a conservative editorial decision!).

If anyone wants to restore it, maybe also add short section on their reception with a secondary source to justify this?
