This volume of Gesammelte Werke presents comprehensive notes from Hegel’s lectures given during the winter semester of 1826/27. These lectures, which include contributions from several key note-takers, delve into complex aspects of Hegelian philosophy, specifically through three major sets of student transcripts that document his mature thought.
Joseph Hube’s notes serve as the primary text, enriched with complementary content and variations from the notes of Johann Eduard Erdmann and Stefan Garczynski, offering detailed insights into Hegel’s lecture structure and emphases. Additionally, Ferdinand Walter’s notes are included, also supplemented by Erdmann’s and Garczynski’s versions, providing another layer of interpretation and depth. Finally, the direct notes by Stefan Garczynski appear with further variants from Erdmann, adding to the textual richness.
Through these three sets of notes, readers gain access to a triangulated view of Hegel’s lectures, where the variants illuminate different facets of his philosophy as perceived by his students. This volume is essential for scholars seeking a more nuanced understanding of Hegel’s philosophy as taught and interpreted in his later years at the University of Berlin.
