encyclopedias, including:- The Difference between Fichte’s and Schelling’s System of Philosophy (1801) - Phenomenology of Spirit (1807), - Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences (1817).
• One of the main figures of German philosophy, Hegel was one of the last great philosophical system builders of the modern age.

gel • Hegel developed a system that emphasized the human
mind, nature, and the formation of spirit.• Hegel’s philosophy represented idealism. He concluded
that thinking began with a thesis that is negated by an antithesis and that this process was continual.
• Georg’s system of the human mind went on to explain why humans think about each topic the way they do. He says that everything is “absolute” and when we pay attention to a particular thing we are separating it from reality and not seeing everything as a whole. This causes a lot of what we think to be only partially true.
• When forming a thought our mind develops a thesis, immediately denies it with an antithesis, then combines the two developments to form what we consider the truth. Only the “absolute” is true though because it is not self-contradictory.
• Hegel was a huge supporter of Napoleon Bonaparte. His philosophy turned him into a democratic hater.
