Introduction to the Philosophy of History - Softcover

In the "Introduction to the Philosophy of History," Hegel describes his remarkably influential idea that history is more than just a record or analysis of political events. Instead, Hegel sees history as a process through which reason and freedom become conscious of themselves by developing the spirit of a people, which will then express itself in the spirit of an age, which is, in turn, embodied in the continuously evolving forms of nations.
