Hyppolite’s Reading of Hegel’s Philosophy of History

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Hyppolite’s Reading of Hegel’s Philosophy of History

Wednesday 08 January 2025 is the 118th anniversary of the birth of Jean Hyppolite (08 January 1907 - 26 October 1968), who was born in Jonzac, Poitou-Charentes, on this date in 1907.

Hyppolite was an influential French Hegelian whose works brought Hegel back into discussion in Francophone philosophy. He wrote a long book on Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit and a short book on Hegel’s philosophy of history. Hyppolite’s non-Hegelian temperament gives his readings of Hegel a Gallic flavor that helped to naturalize Hegel within twentieth century French philosophy.
