Life and work

Hegel entered the Tübinger Stift at age eighteen, where he roomed with Friedrich Hölderlin and Friedrich Schelling.[5] In 1801, he became a Privatdozent at the University of Jena after submitting his inaugural dissertation.[6] Hegel completed the Phenomenology of Spirit as Napoleon fought the Battle of Jena on 14 October 1806.[7] He moved to Bamberg in 1807 to edit a local newspaper and support his illegitimate son.[8]

He accepted a professorship at Heidelberg in 1816, then moved to the University of Berlin in 1818.[9][10] He died on 14 November 1831, likely from a gastrointestinal disease, and was buried next to Fichte.[11][12] After obtaining his theological certificate from the Tübingen Seminary, Hegel served as a house tutor for Captain Karl Friedrich von Steiger's family from 1793 to 1796.[9] The Elements of the Philosophy of Right was published by Hegel in 1821, and he was named University Rector in October 1829.[13][14]

What the cited sources add

These notes, written by student Friedrich Wilhelm Carové between 1816 and 1818, include a long-sought transcript of Hegel's lectures on aesthetics.[10] Klaus Vieweg, a Hegel scholar and biographer, uncovered over 4,000 pages of previously unknown transcripts from Hegel's Heidelberg lectures in 2022, located in the library of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising.[10] This newly found material is anticipated by scholars to assist in settling long-standing questions regarding the trustworthiness of Heinrich Gustav Hotho's edition of the Lectures on Aesthetics.[10]
