His oratorio, "Manasse," was highly successful, and is a striking work. HEGEL, h.a'gcl, Geokg Wilhklm FprEDRicn (1770-1831). One of the greatest German phi- losophers. He was born August 27, 1770, at Stuttgart, and became in 1788 a student in the University of Tubingen, where his speculative abilities, however, were outshone by his younger companion, Schelling. who, together with lliiblcr- lin. exercised a creat intellectual influence on him. In the university he studied theology, pliilosophy, and natural science, and was interested in political events and theories. His diploma described him as having good parts, but did not mention him as Vol. IX —46. distinguished for his knowledge, philosophical or otherwise. After leaving the university in 1793, he was a private tutor at Bern and Frankforl-oii- the-Jlain for seven years, during which period he continued his studies in pliilosophy and theology, and wrote a Life of Jenun, which, however, was never published. In the beginning of 1801 he left Frankfort for Jena, where he [juldished his first ork, Ueber die Different drx Fichlcxehen und HeliellingscUen Systems der I'liilosopliie (1801), and entered the univen-ily as privat-docent. Next j'ear he joined Schelling, to who.se philoso- phy he' seems at this time to have adiiered, in the editorship of the Kritisehes Journal der I'liiloso- pliie. This alliance did not last long, and soon turned into philosophical antagonism. His lec- tures in Jena did not attract much notice, but it was at this place, while the din of the battle in 1806 was sounding through the town, that he completed his first important work, I'hunome- nologiedes Geistes (1807), which he used after- wards to call his voyage of discovery. Shortly before the battle he had been made i)rofessor ex- traordinarius of philosophy; but the disaster which the war brought u])on Jena compelled him to seek means of subsistence elsewhere, and he went, accordingly, at Niethamnier's request, to Bamberg, where he edited a political pa[)cr for a year or two. In 1808 he was appointed rector of the gymnasium at Nuremberg, and there he had just completed the first edition of his Wis- senschaft der Logik (1812-16), when he was called in 1816 to a professorship of philosophy in Heidelberg. There he published his Encyklopiidie der philosophisehen Wisseiiselififlen (1817), in which he first developed his complete system. In 1818, however, he was called to Fiehte's place in Berlin, and it was here that he first began to gather around him a new philosoi)liieal school. His lectures, which were delivered without rhetorical ornament, yet with an impressiveness due to the expression of laborious thought, at- tracted hearers from all ranks and professions. He rose to great political influence by reason of his defense of existing political institutions. Ihis defense subsequently led his critics to charge him with time-service; the charge, how- ever, does him a great injustice. In 1821 he pub- lished his Grundlinien der Philosophic des Hechts, in which he gave expression to his ethical and political views. He demands in that work, among other things, representation of the people, freedom of the press, publicity of judicial proceedings, trial by jury, the administrative in- dependence of corporations, and, above all, a monarch who shall "put the dot over the i." i.e. complete the constitution of the State. In the midst of an active life he was suddenly cut off by cholera, November l4, 1831. He was buried beside Fichte. A complete collection of his works was published in eighteen volumes (Berlin, 1832- 41), some of them compiled from notes taken by his students. Of his works translated into F.nglish may be mentioned: Philosophy of Mind (Oxford, 1894), and Login (ib., 2d ed. 1802). tramslated by Wallace, both of which are portions of the Enejiklopiidie ; Philosophy of Right, translated by Dvde (London, 1896) ; Philosophy of Religion, translated by Spiers and Sanderson (ib., 1895) : I'hilosnphii of History, translated bv Sibreener (ib.. 1857) ; History of Philosophy, translated by Haldane and Simpson (ib.. 18921 ; Hegel's Doctrine of Reflection, translated by W.
