Prefatory Note

The main authorities for the life of Hegel are the biographies of Eosenkranz and Hayrn, — the former a pupil and devoted disciple of Hegel, the latter a critic whose opposition to Hegel’s philosophical principles has passed into a kind of personal bitterness, which mis¬ construes his simplest actions. Some additional details may be derived from Hotho (‘ Vorstudien fur Leben und Kunst’), from Euge (‘ Aus fruherer Zeit’), and from Klaiber (‘ Holderlin, Hegel, und Schelling’).

Logik’). To English readers Hegel was first intro¬ duced in the powerful statement of his principles by Hr Hutchison Stirling. Mr AVallace, in the introduc¬ tion to his translation of the lesser Logic, and Mr Harris, the editor of the American ‘Speculative Jour¬ nal, have since done much to illustrate various aspects of the Hegelian philosophy. Other English writers, such as the late Professor Green, Mr Bradley, Professor Watson, and Professor Adamson, who have not directly treated of Hegel, have been greatly influenced by him. Mr Seth has recently written an interesting account of the movement from Kant to Hegel.
