Georg wilhelm friedrich hegel (German: georg wilhelm friedrich hegel, often abbreviated as G.W.F Hegel; 1 August 27th, 770-A.D. 183 1 year 1 month14th), a German philosopher. Hegel was born in Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Wü rttemberg in southwest Germany today. He is the president of Berlin University (Humboldt University in Berlin today).

Hegel's time was slightly later than Kant's, and he was one of the representatives of German idealism philosophy and German classical philosophy in the19th century. He made the most systematic, rich and complete exposition of German national philosophy. Many people think that Hegel's thought marks the peak of German idealistic philosophy movement in the19th century, and has a far-reaching influence on later philosophical schools, such as existentialism and Marx's historical materialism.

Personality influence:

Hegel's theory has long been controversial in later generations. He has a wide influence in the ideological circle, and almost any school has affirmed or criticized his theory.

Historians divide people influenced by Hegel into two hostile camps, Hegel's right wing and left wing. The representative of Hegel's right wing is his students at Humboldt University in Berlin, who support the religious concepts of evangelical orthodoxy and political conservatism in the post-Napoleonic era.

Hegel's leftists, sometimes called "young hegelians", inherited revolutionary elements from Hegel's theory, advocated atheism, and advocated freedom and democracy in the political field, including Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach, Marx and Engels in his youth.
