Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (Stuttgart 1770 - Berlin 1831) is, along with Plato, the most misunderstood of all philosophers : his fundamental conceptual tool, the dialectic method, through which he intended to describe the progress of thought in each of its various incarnations (Art, Religion, History, Knowledge), is often represented in the form of a triad that all secondary school students are supposed to use as a model when completing their homework : thesis-antithesis-synthesis.The purpose of this book is to render justice to Hegel, an important and complex philosopher who influenced many a scholar (particularly Marx, but also Lautman the great mathematics historian). Hegel first studied logic and natural philosophy, then the philosophy of the Mind, or " Phenomenology " (including his well-know " master and slave " struggle that so influenced Kojève, Lacan, Sartre and Bataille). The work ends with an exposition and development on the diverse impact of Hegel's ideas on subsequent philosophy.Benoît Timmermans, a researcher at the Fonds National belge de la Recherche Scientifique (National Belgian Foundation of Scientific Research) and the Université de Bruxelles, published the distinguished work : La Résolution des problèmes de Descartes à Kant and collaborated on an edition of Hegel's Aesthetics.
