Lectures on the Philosophy of World History

Lectures on the Philosophy of World History (or just Lectures on the Philosophy of History; German: Vorlesungen über die Philosophie der Weltgeschichte) is a work by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831), originally given as lectures at the University of Berlin in 1822, 1828, and 1830. It presents world history in terms of the Hegelian philosophy in order to show that history follows the dictates of reason and that the natural progress of history is due to the outworking of absolute spirit.
