The works of German thinker Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel represent the apex of German classical philosophy. It was Hegel who pounded out the dialectical methodology that shaped the doctrine of idealism into a fully formed and deeply thought-out philosophical system. For many philosophical contemporaries, the name Hegel is synonymous with the word philosopher. Friedrich Nietzsche once boldly stated that "Hegel is taste," and, speaking of Hegel, the thinker Vladimir Solovyov remarked: "of all the philosophers, only to Hegel did philosophy mean everything." The book includes the following of Hegel’s works:

• The Phenomenology of Spirit
• The Logic of Hegel
• Hegel’s Philosophy of Mind
• Elements of the Philosophy of Right
• The Philosophy of Fine Art
• The Philosophy of History
• Lectures on the History of Philosophy
• Lectures on the Proofs of the Existence of God
