This edition makes available an entirely new version of Hegel's lectures on the development and scope of world history. Volume II presents Hegel's surviving manuscripts of his introduction to the lectures and the full transcription of the second series of lectures (1830-31).
Hegel lectured several times on the philosophy of world history. His manuscripts of the introduction and transcriptions (by Griesheim and Hotho) of the Lectures of 1822-23 were published by OUP in 2011, based on critical editions prepared by Walter Jaeschke. Now the Lectures of 1831, from a transcription made by Karl Hegel (the philosopher's son), also edited by Jaeschke, are appearing in English.
Brown and Hodgson's new translation is an essential resource for the English reader, and provides a fascinating account of the world as it was conceived by one of history's most influential philosophers. The Editorial Introduction surveys the history of the texts and provides an analytic summary of them, and editorial footnotes introduce readers to Hegel's many sources and allusions. For the first time an edition of these lectures is made available that permits critical scholarly study, one which translates to the needs of the general reader.
