About the book >.>.> The lectures on the philosophy of religion were delivered four times over the eleven-year period 1821-1831. Hegel’s conception and execution of them differed so significantly on each of the oc-casions they were presented that all past attempts to conflate the several series into a single editorially constructed text have un-avoidably done violence to the materials. Hence the fundamental principle of this edition is to establish authentic and critical texts by separating the lectures and publishing them as independent units on the basis of a complete reediting of the available sources. These include Hegel’s own lecture manuscript (Ms.) composed for the first lecture series in 1821; auditors’ notebooks or transcripts of the 1824 lectures of which the principal one was prepared by K. G. Griesheim; the text of the 1827 lectures contained in G.

Hotho’s freely edited notebook. (SP)
