Neo-hegelianism

The neo-Hegelianism is a collective term for the mainly by Kuno Fischer and Wilhelm Dilthey introduced aspiration of a renewal of the philosophical ideas of Hegel . Its aim is to ward off positivism in the humanities.

Neo-Hegelianism tends - with reference to Hegel - to the method of dialectics , to metaphysics (especially to the metaphysical interpretation of culture and history), to defend the abstract power state and to emphasize the humanities over the natural sciences.

This inconsistent trend in philosophy is particularly widespread in Germany, but also in France, England, the Netherlands, Italy, Russia, Scandinavia and the USA.
