Hegel: Introduction To The Philosophy Of History by Irwin Edman is a comprehensive introduction to the philosophical ideas of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Western philosophy.

The book discusses Hegel's ideas about the different stages of historical development, including the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and the modern era.
