He died on 18 November 1827 in Stuttgart, Kingdom of Württemberg [now Baden-Württemberg, Germany].- Hegel first attended the German and Latin schools in Stuttgart. Afterwards he was a student at the local "Gymnasium illustre" until he graduated in 1788. His special academic achievements earned him a scholarship that enabled him to study philology, mathematics, philosophy between 1788 and 1793 and, after his master's degree in 1790, to study theology at the Tübingen monastery. During this time he met the later poet Friedrich Hölderlin and the later philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling and maintained a friendly relationship with them. During his time, Hegel was particularly interested in antiquity and the French Revolution. After his studies in the monastery, Hegel worked as a private tutor in Bern and Frankfurt/M for a while. busy. An inheritance gave him the financial security to devote himself to his philosophy.
In 1801 his work "Difference between the Fichtean and Schelling systems" was published. The following year the title "Faith and Knowledge" was published. The connection to Schelling enabled him to complete his habilitation at the University of Jena. In 1805 Hegel became an associate professor of philosophy. At this time, the poets Novalis, Ludwig Tieck and the brothers Friedrich and August Wilhelm Schlegel made Jena the center of German Romanticism. In addition, Friedrich Schiller taught history at Jena University, as did the idealists Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Schelling, philosophy. In 1806, Napoleon defeated the troops of Prussia, Russia and Saxony near Jena and Auerstedt. The Prussian Empire collapsed and Hegel left Jena. In the same year he completed work on his first central work, "Phenomenology of Spirit". It was published in 1807 in Bamberg and Würzburg. In the same year he briefly worked as editor of the "Bamberger Zeitung".
The following year he became rector of the Ägidyengymnasium in Nuremberg, which he directed until 1815. During this time, the first two volumes of his second important work, "Science of Logic," were published. The third volume was published in 1816. In this work Hegel outlines the development of the absolute. After his time in Nuremberg, Hegel went to Heidelberg, where he held a chair in philosophy. There he produced the "Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences" in 1817, which sets out the outline of his philosophical system. The encyclopedia work systematically summarizes Hegel's approaches in his other writings into an overall view that also contains his natural philosophical ideas. His system influenced Marxism and Neo-Hegelianism as well as modern philosophical systems. In 1818 he left Heidelberg and moved to Berlin. There he became Fichte's successor at the Philosophical Faculty of the University. In 1821 his work on "Legal Philosophy" appeared. In it he explains his idea of practical philosophy, in which law, morality and morality mean the will of the mind.
Hegel regularly gave the lecture "On the Philosophy of World History" from 1822 to 1830. It gave him not only the reputation of a Prussian state philosopher, but also of the top German philosopher par excellence. In particular, his lectures on aesthetics, philosophy of religion and history, in which he presented his doctrine of "absolute spirit", had an enormously broad impact. His other teaching subjects also included philosophy of law, art and the history of philosophy.
