Preferred term

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel  

Definition

  • Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel is one of the pantheon of “great dead political philosophers.” To many, he is best known for his conservatism and his early critique of modern liberalism. For others, what makes him most distinctive is the social idealism that made him such an attractive target for Karl Marx. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Theory; Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich (1770–1831)]
