above-cited text.
“Along with J. G.
Fichte and F. W. J. von Schelling, Hegel (1770–1831) belongs to the
period of “German idealism” in the decades following Kant. The
most systematic of the post-Kantian idealists, Hegel attempted,
throughout his published writings as well as in his lectures, to
elaborate a comprehensive and systematic ontology from a “logical”
starting point. He is perhaps most well-known for his teleological
account of history, an account which was later taken over by Marx and
“inverted” into a materialist theory of an historical development
culminating in communism. For most of the twentieth century, the
“logical” side of Hegel's thought had been largely forgotten, but
his political and social philosophy continued to find interest and
support. However, since the 1970s, a degree of more general
philosophical interest in Hegel's systematic thought has also been
revived.”
