Hegel spent the first forty years of his life overshadowed by his two friends from the seminary, Hölderlin and Schelling. But in his last years, he was the most well-known philosopher in Europe. He lived a low-key life, but his engagement with history, art, and religion, as well as with the other thinkers of his era, shaped his philosophy. This is what we explore here.
