A great introduction to Hegel's work. I am still thinking about his ideas on History, but it seemed that Hegel categorized it abstractly. It's hard to argue. I remember Kierkegaard and other philosophers disagreeing with him, do check them out. Hegel says, There's three methods of writing history.
a) Original
b) Reflective
c) Critical
He brings reason in making sense of history, as we try to understand it –– our way of making sense is using reason. Thus he establishes Reason as the basis of History. He adds, it is the law of the world, therefore things have to come about rationally.
Hegel asks, "What is the ultimate purpose of the world?"
He says, it is what is willed in the world itself. World History is the progress of consciousness of freedom.
Definitely an interesting read, if you want to understand Marx and other philosophers.
