One of those common places in the territory of thought to which one returns thoughtlessly over and over again is the reduction experienced by the historical within Hegelian philosophy. From the perspective of modern historical science, as well as historicism in the broadest sense of the term, Hegel's work represents the paradigm of the interpretive aggression that philosophy carries out on the diverse, particular, plural reality of human events and its evolution in time. The writings that make up this edition provide a good opportunity to address first-hand Hegelian reflections on history: its spiritual essence, the sense of its movement, the role of individuals in its development ..., so that this often repeated argument may be subject to further evaluation.
