This is a new translation of the first volume of Hegel's lectures on the History of Philosophy and includes material from lecture notes taken by Hegel's pupils in 1923-4, 1925-6, and 1927-28.

This new translation of the first volume of Hegel's Lectures on the History of Philosophy includes material not available to Haldane and Simson when they made their translation nearly 100 years ago. Indispensable for the student of Hegel, it can also serve as an introduction to Hegel's conception of philosophy for the general reader.
