Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was one of the most influential representatives of German idealism. The field of his philosophical activity is inexhaustible. He focused mainly on classical disciplines of philosophy: aesthetics, logics, epistemology, history, ethics, religion, law etc. The greatness of his thought is confirmed by the fact that he remains even today a source of inspiration as well as contempt. Hegel’s philosophy echoes in the theoretical psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan and, as a negative referential point, in the analytical philosophy of Bertrand Russel. Hegel developed his own dialectic, opposed to formalism of traditional logic and thought against reproaches that philosophy is distinguished for its abstract thinking; his aim was to lead philosophy from the state of love of wisdom to the state of wisdom itself. The highlights of his work are: Phenomenology of Spirit, Science of Logics and Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences.
