Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Hegel, whose real name is Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, is a famous German philosopher. He was born in 1770 in Stuttgart, the southern city of Germany.
In 1788, he studied at the University of Tübingen in different fields such as philosophy, law, linguistics and theology.
The basis of Hegel's philosophy is the act of 'thinking'. He argues that the essence and source of reality can only be reached by thinking. According to Hegel, the perception of reality cannot be explained by physical substances, space or concrete perceptions. In his reality, there is also a place for spiritual phenomena, religion, forms of political structuring, philosophy and artistic creations. For this reason, Hegel aims to gather all forms of reality under a single principle while structuring his philosophical thought. This principle also forms the basis of philosophical thought.
From time to time, it seems that they also aimed to develop Hegel's philosophy in order to better convey his thoughts. It is known that innovative Hegelians claim that there are gaps in his philosophy and sometimes organize the ideas to fill the gaps and sometimes work to rearrange the entire system. In line with these tendencies, it is not possible to explain the Hegelian doctrine on a common denominator.
Later, his students with different ideas grouped together to organize Hegel's teachings and carried out new studies as Old and New Hegelians. Finally, right and left Hegelians also wanted to organize these teachings, but they again failed to completely hide their own interpretations. There are both internal and external reasons for this, but the most important reason is that Hegel adopted a collective philosophical intellectual process from idealism to objectivity, rationalism to empiricism, historicity to absolutism in his intellectual system.
