Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich - (1770 - 1831) The Greatest German Philosopher of the first part of the 19th century.  Even though he was an idealist, his outstanding achievement was the systematization of the dialectic character of development in nature and in society.  The core of Hegel's doctrine consists in recognizing that inorganic, organic, and social formations arise, develop, and are destroyed.

Hegelians - the 'Left Hegelians' or 'Young Hegelians' -- An idealist trend in German philosophy in the 1830s and 1840s. The Young Hegelians tried to draw radical conclucsions from Hegel's philosophy to prove the necessity for a bourgeois reform of Germany. The leaders were David Strauss, the Bauer brothers, Max Stirner and some others. For a time, Feuerbach and also Marx and Engels in their youth adhered to the Young Hegelians. Then Marx and Engels broke with them and criticized the idealist and petty-bourgeois essence of the trend in The Holy Family (1844) and The German Ideology (1845-46).
