Hegel


Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a 19th Century German Philosopher and one of the creators of German Idealism. Hegel was also known for his interest in History and was key in the development of the philosophy of history. Hegel viewed history as driven by negatives, as one large, long clash of thesis opposing antithesis.
"History is the study of the successive follies of mankind."
