Individual Freedom in Hegel's Philosophy of History

In the philosophical tradition the question of freedom has been one of the most erected and most discussed themes; this is undeniable. Until we reached the Hegelian theory of freedom the conception of freedom was from its classical archetype linked to a political morality - as we see in the ancient Greek world - to an understanding of freedom based on a subjective element as proposed by the moderns. At the apex of German idealism Hegel (1770 - 1831) proposed one of the most striking theories of freedom and even one of the most original since its purpose is to roughly unite the two conceptions indicated above. A type of freedom that apprehends not only a subjective freedom - as proposed by his predecessors in modernity - but also a freedom linked to political morality - as in the ancient Greeks.
