to encourage historical-critical efforts to study the collected works of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
.
The North-Rhine/Westphalian Academy of Sciences and the Felix Meiner Publishing House, Hamburg, are publishers of the collected works of Hegel. Since 1968 the Hegel Archives has served as a facility for the faculty of Philosophy, Education and Journalism of the Ruhr University Bochum.
This library is open to Hegel researchers and international guests as well.
The Director of the Hegel Archives is actually Professor Walter Jaeschke, who is also the Editor of the publication of the Collected Works of Hegel. He is also the author of Reason in Religion: the Foundation of Religion in Hegel's Philosophy (1986).
Professor Jaeschke also assisted Dr. Peter C. Hodgson and a team of scholars at the University of California at Berkeley, who, in 1990, published a new translation of Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion (1818-1831). This publication radically changed the direction of 20th century Hegel studies, according to some researchers in the Hegel Society of America
