Despite his notoriously confusing rhetoric, German thinker Georg Hegel’s philosophical theories are “seductive.” Even those thinkers who claim to reject Hegel’s ideas, such as Friedrich Nietzsche, end up utilizing some of his most fundamental tenets. Given the pervasiveness of Hegel, it is rare for a thinker to veer successfully from his arguments. This paper seeks to argue that there is one such thinker who does so most compellingly: Hannah Arendt. Although Arendt claims to draw from Hegel, and

When reading Hegel’s, Reason in History: A General Introduction to the Philosophy of History, one can certainly see that Hegel was influenced by Plato’s Theory of Forms and his Theory of Opposites. Hegel’s Master Slave Dialect is a good theory contemporarily as to why people with privileges are not able to see the issues of the underprivileged.

Critics of social contract theories aren’t simply seeking to negate the theories of social contract theories, but in many cases are seeking to enhance them and show how they can be applied to certain principles.

At the end of his freshman year his dad suggested for him to transfer to a more serious school;

‘Life is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life.’ (Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels.) What do Marx and Engels mean by this and how helpful is this idea for literary analysis? Marx and Engels both formed the theory that it isn’t what we think that decides out reality, it is instead our reality that decides what it is that we are capable of thinking. It is in essence the idea that we as human beings are refined not by what we think, but by our reality, which in turn decides the capability

Why Karl Marx Thought Communism was the Ideal Political Party Karl Marx was brought up in a Jewish community and society in his early years. His father was a lawyer, although he was descended from a long line of rabbis.

The French monarchy was in the process of being overthrown; there was political and civil unrest throughout Europe. In the midst of all this turmoil Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel emerged, presenting an analysis of history that would echo through the future, an understanding of the human condition, and an estimate of the end of said history and what would bring it about. This end of history would be

Idealism is the theory that ideas and thoughts make up the actual fundamental reality of the world. In an overview, it is any philosophy that argues that the only things that are knowable lies in consciousness. This also states that we can never truly tell if anything in the outside world really exists. Things that are real are only mental, nothing physical if proven to be real.
