Left Hegelianism

Left Hegelianism is a philosophical movement that emerged in the 19th century, inspired by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s ideas but emphasizing social change and opposition to existing hierarchies. It advocates for reason, equality, and the possibility of progress through revolutionary action. Unlike Right Hegelians, who focus on tradition and stability, Left Hegelians emphasize emancipating individuals from oppression and reevaluating moral and political structures. They see history as a process of unfolding freedom, encouraging activism to shape a more just and rational society.
