Abstract

This "New Critical Edition" of Hegel's writings fulfills all requirements of scholarly precision and completeness, in contrast to the so-called "Complete Edition" of Hegel's works, compiled by "an association of friends of the deceased" soon after the death of the great thinker, which was neither complete nor critical at all. In fact, the best authorities are unanimous in their agreement that this new edition is now the only one which should be used for scholarly purposes. There is also the Jubiläumsausgabe which appeared on the occasion of the centenary of Hegel's death, but this was merely a photographic reprint of the edition by the "friends."
