Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831), German idealist philosopher, is one of the most influential thinkers in the history of philosophy. His ideas pervade the writings of idealists such as Caird, Bosanquet and Green, of Josiah Royce in the USA, and such major Continental figures as Feuerbach, D.F. Strauss, Theodor Adorno, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Satre and, most importantly, Karl Marx. As such he has plaued a crucial role in shaping the course of 19th- and 20th-century thought, and he remains popular and influential today. This 10-volume collection, also available in its separate components, gathers together the three works that constitute Hegel's lectures on "Absolute Spirit". They were published from his lecture notes after Hegel's death. For Hegel, "Absolute Spirit" was the total completion of the human attempt to know itself, and he took philosophy, religion and art to be the ways to comprehend it. These lectures, "Lectures on the History of Philosophy", "Letters on the Philosophy of Religion" and "The Philosophy of Fine Art", form the backbone of all English-speaking analysis of Hegel's "Spirit" in the 20th century.
