This article deals briefly with the origins and influences of those Western classical and modem philosophical ideas which exerted tremendous impact on the formation of Hegel's idealist system. It traces back to the main doctrines of ancient Greek philosophers like, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. In addition, Hegel inherited the debates of rationalism and empiricism of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Locke, Hume and other modem philosophers. Kant's three critiques opened up a novel and exciting forum for his followers. Thus Picht's subjective and Schelling's objective idealism led Hegel to search for the absolute knowledge of self-realized spirit as the highest stage of philosophical thinking. However, Hegel's lifelong interest in religion, especially his early critique of the "positivity" of Christianity revealed his intellectual debtness to and revolt against the theological education in his youth. Evidently, Hegel's philosophical achievement reflected the spirit of his times. He was indeed the son of the Age of Rationalism and Enlightenment. |
