488 HEGEL. year a newspaper editor in Bamberg, and in 1808 went as a gymnasial rector to Nuremberg, where he instructed the higher classes in philosophy. His lectures there arc printed in the eighteenth volume of his works, under the title Propcedeutic. In the Nuremberg period fell his mar- riage and the publication of the Logic (vol. i. 1812, vol. ii. 1816). In 1816 he was called as professor of philosophy to Heidelberg (where the Encyclopcedia appeared, 1817), and two years later to Berlin. The Outlines of the Philos- ophy of Right, 1821, is the only major work which was written in Berlin. The Jahrbilcher fiir wissenschaftliche Kritiky founded in 1827 as an organ of the school, con- tained a few critiques, but for the rest he devoted his whole strength to his lectures. He fell a victim to the cholera on November 14, 1831. The collected edition of his works in eighteen volumes (1832-45) contains in vols, ii.-viii. the four major works which had been published by Hegel himself (the Encyclopcedia with additions from the Lectures); in vols, i., xvi., and xvii. the minor treatises; in vols, ix.-xv. the Lectures, edited by Gans, Hotho, Mar- heineke, and Michelet. The Letters from and to Hegel have been added as a nineteenth volume, under the editor- ship of Karl Hegel, 1887.* We may preface our exposition of the parts of the sys- tem by some remarks on Hegel's standpoint in general and his scientific method.

  • Hegel's Life has been written by Karl Rosenkranz (1844), who has also

defended the master {Apolcgie Hegels, 1858) against R, Haym {Hegel und seiti-e Zeit, 1857). and extolled him as the national philosopher of Germany (1870 ; English by G. S. Hall).
