Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
(1770-1831)
Fourth of six weekly lectures by Isaiah Berlin
Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford
In these lectures Isaiah Berlin discusses the ideas of some social and political thinkers before and after the French Revolution which, in h:s view, have had a greater influence both for good and evil in the twentieth century than in their own time and are now more important than ever.
This lecture is concerned with some of the central concepts of Hegel's political philosophy and their crucial role in transforming European ideas both for good and for ill.
