Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion

This one-volume abridged edition of Hegels Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion is intended for student and classroom use as well as for a wider readership. It reprints, from the three-volume critical edition (University of California Press, 1984, 1985, 1987), the complete text of Hegels lectures delivered in 1827. Of the three series of lectures on philosophy of religion that presently can be reconstructed, those of 1827 are the latest, the most clearly organized, and the most accessible to nonspecialists. Here for the first time a complete version of Hegels lectures on this topic is made available in a single volume and in a form corresponding to Hegels original presentation. This title is part of UC Presss Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1988.
