Neo-hegelianism

Neo-hegelianism is a school (or schools) of thought associated and inspired by the works of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a German idealist philosopher active around the year 1800.

Marxism developed out of the latter group. In philosophy of religion, Hegel's influence soon became very powerful in the English-speaking world. The British school, called British idealism and partly Hegelian in inspiration, included Thomas Hill Green, William Wallace, F.H. Bradley and Edward Caird. It was primarily directed towards political philosophy America saw the development of a school of Hegelian thought in St. Louis, Missouri even when that city was barely past its own frontier stage.
