First edition in English of the philosopher's examination of the conceptual foundations of religion, first published in Berlin in 1832 and deriving from notes taken by Hegel's students at the University of Berlin. In Lectures, Hegel (1770-1831) argues that the dogmatic creeds of organized Christianity serve to underpin rationally the instinctive nature of religious feeling. This approach, which elevates rational philosophy above traditional theological practice, yields a more developed understanding of God. This edition was edited and partially translated by Ebenezer Brown Speirs (1854-1900), a minister from Perthshire, while much of the first two volumes was translated by Jane Burdon Sanderson, who died during the publication process.
