Abstract

This introductory essay outlines the rationale behind the present volume, which reconsiders Hegel’s philosophy of history from the standpoint of contemporary concerns. Once politically significant, Hegel’s narrative of progress and Eurocentric modernity now appears distant, displaced by histo- riographical models emphasizing plural temporalities, global perspectives, and the entanglement of nature and history. Postcolonial critique and eco- logical thought further highlight the limits of his system. Yet, this very distance opens a space for critical dialogue: not to restore Hegel’s relevance, but to question our historical present through his legacy.
