#16: Hegel I: Conservative Nationalism. 19th Century German Philosophy - A Revolution in Thought As Descartes is the best representative of rationalism in 17th century France, so Hume is the best representative of 18th century British empiricism and Hegel is the best representative of the German philosophy which dominated the 19th century. Hegel's major works are written in Germany still recoiling from the terror of the French Revolution and from the Napoleonic invasion of Germany. The need for a strong, unified German nation. Philosophically the influence of Kant; the Kantian turn in philosophy; also of the German Romantics. Hegel's life. A powerful philosophy of conservatism, anti-individualistic nationalism.
