Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831) was a German philosopher who developed a comprehensive idealist system culminating in the Phenomenology of Spirit and the Science of Logic. His dialectical method and philosophy of history—arguing that history is the progressive self-realization of Absolute Spirit—profoundly shaped Marx, existentialism, and 20th-century philosophy.
Developed the dialectical method and the philosophy of history as progressive development; his system is the pivot between Kant and modern philosophy.
