Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a German philosopher, the leading figure of German idealism after Kant. His works, including the Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) and the Elements of the Philosophy of Right (1820), present history as the development of reason and freedom. From 1818 he taught at the University of Berlin, and his ideas shaped Marx and much of nineteenth- and twentieth-century thought.
