G.F.W. Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, commonly referred to as Hegel, was a philosopher who came at the pinnacle of the movement of German Idealism. His systematic philosophy was incredibly influential during the youth of Marx and Engels, who mastered Hegel's dialectical method and transposed it onto materialism. For Haz, "philosophy ends with Hegel." Hegel himself knowingly aimed to end philosophy by achieving a concrete exposition of the necessary concepts for rational thought, and demonstrating their mutual interconnectedness in a unified structure of all human thought as a developing whole. Hegel's project was idealist, it regarded the true being of reality to be its concept. But his method for revealing and clarifying this concept, his dialectics, was the most dynamic and deep-rooted form of thinking to ever emerge from philosophy. Marx mastered this method and applied it as driven by materialism. Marxism, inheriting this tradition, analyzes material reality in a dialectical way and works to change it by dialectical activity.
