Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel | German philosopher

The Hegelhaus Stuttgart houses a permanent exhibition on Hegel's life. In his honour, the city of Stuttgart awards the international Hegel Prize every three years. The oldest and most important association dedicated to Hegelian philosophy is the International Hegel Society.

In numerous cities, streets or squares were named after the philosopher. Vienna's Hegelgasse in the 1st district, with several well-known schools and significant architecture, is a strong reference to the educational pioneer, where the world's first girls' grammar school was built by the women's politician Marianne Hainisch.

The Hegelian writings are divided in Hegelian research into fourteen sectors, which correspond partly to chronological and partly to systematic criteria:

1. Early writings (youth writings)
2. Jena critical writings
3. Jena system designs
4. Phenomenology of the mind
5. Logic (small and large)
6. Natural Philosophy
7. Subjective mind
8. Objective Mind (Basic Lines of the Philosophy of Law)
9. Philosophy of history
10. Political writings of the day
11. Philosophy of art
12. Philosophy of Religion
13. Philosophy and history of philosophy
14. Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences

The texts can be further divided into three groups:

1. Texts written by Hegel and published during his lifetime
2. Texts written by him but not published during his lifetime
3. Texts that were neither written by him nor published during his lifetime

The first group of texts includes Hegel's writings from the beginning of his time in Jena as well as his works in the journal Kritisches Journal der Philosophie, which he edited together with Schelling. Furthermore, these include his main works Phenomenology of Spirit, the Science of Logic, the Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences and the Basic Lines of the Philosophy of Right. Furthermore, Hegel published only a few smaller works for topical occasions and for the Jahrbücher für wissenschaftliche Kritik.

Almost all of the writings in the second text group were not published in an authentic version until the 20th century. They include Hegel's manuscripts written in Tübingen and Jena, the Jena system drafts, the works from the Nuremberg period, and the manuscripts and notes from the Heidelberg and Berlin lecture activities.

The group of texts neither written nor published by Hegel makes up almost half of the texts attributed to Hegel. These include the lectures on aesthetics, philosophy of history, philosophy of religion, and history of philosophy, which were very important for Hegel's impact. These texts are student products, for the most part the result of the compilation of postscripts of Hegel's lectures.
