The Hegel Myth and Its Method

Abstract

The work of Kaufman "the Myth of Hegel and the technology of its creation" was first published in 1959 in the United States. Despite the historical significance of Hegel's philosophy, some of his critics do not bother to study the primary sources and fundamentally important research literature. This opens up the possibility not only to misunderstandings, but deliberate speculation and distorted, including politically biased, interpretations, substitute the real views of Hegel myth-making dealing with them a thinker. The work of Kaufman discloses a technique of creation a mythological conception of Hegel's philosophy on the material provided by well-known and influential ideologist of the liberal doctrine of the "open society" of Karl Popper.
