Abstract

This article aims to present and analyze the conception of historical progress as elaborated by german philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) in his work Lectures on the Philosophy of History, posthumously published in 1837. For this, our exposition will follow mainly its third chapter – called The Course of Universal History –, accompanying the philosopher’s arguments in detail. The conclusion highlights the Hegelian historical progress understood as an infinite end, mainly based on Terry Pinkard’s Does History Make Sense? (2017). Moreover, Hegel’s understanding of historical progress is compared with the linear and cyclical understandings of history.
