Hegel in Berne and Frankfurt


Here is a further summary of Karl Rosenkranz' Life of Hegel (1844), starting from Hegel's time as a tutor in Switzerland from 1793-96. As the book is not available in English and my German is not (yet) up to the job, I work from the French translation of Pierre Osmo.

This is a summary of the preface and first eleven chapters of Karl Rosenkranz's Life of Hegel (1844), the first biography of the German philosopher Hegel. Rosenkranz was a Calvinist and Professor in Königsberg in East Prussia who had access to Hegel's papers through his family.
