About the author

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

German idealist philosopher whose dialectical system of history and Spirit profoundly influenced Marx, existentialism, and 20th-century continental philosophy. The Phenomenology of Spirit traces consciousness's development toward Absolute Knowledge through contradictions and syntheses. His system is notoriously difficult but enormously influential.
