The famous German philosopher Georg Hegel left behind a very ambiguous legacy. This thought giant possessed an amazing gift to simply talk about the most complicated things, but at the same time his ideas were far from always perceived positively by society. In part, this stems from the non-standard and unusual nature of some of his statements. But the fact remains that the disputes around Hegel’s philosophical treatises will not die down soon.
Hegel’s father was an ardent propagandist of a healthy lifestyle. Already at the age of 7, the future philosopher was enrolled in the gymnasium students in Stuttgart, where he showed a penchant for history and the study of ancient languages. In his youth, Hegel spoke positively of the French Revolution, but at a mature age he changed his mind to the opposite. After graduation, which resulted in George Hegel received the title of Master of Philosophy, for some time he worked as a home teacher. In addition to philosophy, he was also seriously interested in theology and politics. Contemporaries noted that in speaking on everyday topics, Hegel often seemed to lack words for a competent and beautiful statement of thoughts. However, as soon as it came to something serious, the philosopher was immediately transformed.
The absent-mindedness of the philosopher often amused his friends. Immersed in thought, he could, for example, go out barefoot, forgetting to wear shoes. He was a pretty mean man. Not saving on anything necessary, he, however, considered rash spending money the height of frivolity. With one of his best friends over the years, Schelling, Hegel fell out shortly after they jointly founded a philosophical journal. Hegel published his work in it, which was the cause of the conflict.
In marriage, the philosopher was born three sons. During the life of Georg Hegel wrote many philosophical works. The complete collection of his writings is 20 volumes, and these books have been translated into almost all the major languages of the world. Karl Marx spoke highly of the writings of Hegel.
