Topic : Hegel's reading of Spinoza
Spinoza is one of the essential influences at the turn of the 19th century on German philosophy, and particularly on German Idealism from Fichte to Hegel. Although his view of Spinoza varied somewhat in the development of his own system, Hegel never ceased to see him as a vital and unavoidable stage in the history of philosophy. This seminar will seek to elicit and to explicitate his understanding of Spinoza from his account of him in his Lectures on the History of Philosophy which will be compared with relevant passages from his Science of Logic.
