The Lectures on the History of Philosophy ({{langx|de|Vorlesungen über die Geschichte der Philosophie}}) were delivered by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel in 1805-6, 1816-1818, 1819, 1820, 1825–26, 1827–28, 1829–30, and 1831, just before he died in November of that year.{{sfn|Walsh|1965}}[https://ndpr.nd.edu/news/24423-lectures-on-the-history-of-philosophy-1825-6-volume-i-introduction-and-oriental-philosophy/ Robert R.

Overview
Hegel's lecture notes were edited by his student, Karl Ludwig Michelet in 1833, and revised in 1840-1842. An English translation was provided by Elizabeth Haldane in 1892.{{sfn|Walsh|1965}}{{sfn|Hegel|1996}}
In it, he outlined his ideas on the major philosophers. He saw consciousness as progressing from an undifferentiated pantheism of the East to a more individualistic understanding culminating in the freedom of the Germanic era.
In his lectures Hegel cites extensively the voluminous histories of philosophy written in Germany after 1740; among them: Johann Jakob Brucker's Historia critica philosophiae, 6 vols. (1742–1767; "Critical History of Philosophy"); Johann Buhle's Lehrbuch der Geschichte der Philosophie, 8 vols. (1796–1804; "Textbook on the History of Philosophy"); Dietrich Tiedemann's Geist der spekulativen Philosophie von Thales bis Berkeley, 6 vols. (1791–1797; "The Spirit of Speculative Philosophy from Thales to Berkeley"); and Wilhelm Gottlieb Tennemann's Geschichte der Philosophie, 11 vols. (1789–1819; "History of Philosophy").
