Primary Sources
Added English translation of Hegel’s Nürnberger Encyclopedia, the earliest know version of his Encyclopedia, which he wrote for lecturing his older teenage pupil when he was schoolmaster at the Ägidiengymnasium, Nürnberg. Some parts of the translation have been done by translation programs. So it may still contain errors. Please compare the German version, when in doubt. In case you find some errors or have some suggestions for better translations, please let us know. (2020-09-08).
Added Who thinks abstract?, an early nice little essay of Hegel, in which he argues that ordinary people think abstract, not philosophers. With several examples. We also provide versions in other languages as well (as always, you can switch languages via the flag menu in the top right corner).(2020-09-07)
Kai’s Hegel workshop - Logic and metaphysics, basic concepts
NEW articles:
(Pls. note that the following article, like all Hegel workshop articles, are first translations of older articles from Kai Froeb’s “Hegel Workshop” (Hegel Werkstatt). They claim to be inspired by and compatible with Hegel’s philosophy, but in no way do they cover all aspects of Hegel’s thoughts on the subject. Instead, I (Kai) try to develop a fresh argumentation in my own words, without too much quotes from Hegel. So all possible errors are from myself. I hope you find them helpful anyway. In any case, I’d like to hear your feedback).
- On Infinity - Explains the “true” infinity within Hegel’s Philosophy, a central concept of him. It also relates to the concept (see our concept tutorial) and to truth. (2020-09-07).
