Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831) was a German philosopher who developed dialectical idealism, emphasizing the progress of history and ideas through thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. He published major works including *Phenomenology of Spirit* (1807), *Science of Logic* (1812–1816), and *Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences* (1817), influencing philosophy, history, and social sciences. Hegel held academic positions at Jena, Heidelberg, and Berlin, where he became a celebrated professor until his death.[1][2][4]
