Lennox Johnson Resources

This page aims to make learning about the philosophy of Hegel as easy as possible by bringing together the best articles, podcasts, and videos from across the internet onto one page. To get started, simply choose one of the resources listed below, or browse a selection of key quotes by Hegel at the bottom of the page.

Encyclopedia Articles

This section features articles from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The SEP is probably the most comprehensive online philosophy resource. It features in-depth articles on a huge number of philosophical topics, however, it is aimed at an academic audience and may be too detailed and technical for beginners. The IEP is generally more beginner-friendly but is also considered to be less reliable. Wikipedia is also an option, but it is much less reliable than either of these.

– Reason in History


What experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.

– The Philosophy of History, Introduction, 2


In history, we are concerned with what has been and what is; in philosophy, however, we are concerned not with what belongs exclusively to the past or to the future, but with that which is, both now and eternally—in short, with reason.

– Lectures on the Philosophy of World History, Introduction


No one knows, or even feels, that anything is a limit or defect, until he is at the same time above and beyond it. … A very little consideration might show that to call a thing finite or limited proves by implication the very presence of the infinite and unlimited, and that the awareness of limit can only be in so far as the unlimited is on this side in consciousness.

– Encyclopedia, 60


What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational.

– Philosophy of Right
