Hegel's principal achievement wis his development o a distinctive airteeculation o idealism, whiles termed absolute idealism,[3] in that the dualisms of, for instance, mynd an naitur an subject an object are owercome. His philosophie o speerit conceptually integrates psychology, the state, history, airt, releegion an philosophie. His accoont o the master–sclave dialectic haes been heichly influential, especially in 20t-century Fraunce.[4] O special importance is his concept o speerit (Geist, whiles an aw translatit as "mynd") as the historical manifestation o the logical concept an the "sublation" (Aufhebung, integration withoot elimination or reduction) o seeminly contradictory or opposin factors: ensaumples include the apparent opposeetion atween necessity an freedom an atween immanence an transcendence. Hegel haes been seen in the 20t century as the oreeginator o the thesis, antithesis, synthesis triad,[5] but as an expleecit phrase it oreeginatit wi Johann Gottlieb Fichte.[6]

Hegel haes influenced mony thinkers an writers that's awn poseetions vary widely.[7] Karl Barth descrived Hegel as a "Protestant Aquinas"[8] while Maurice Merleau-Ponty wrote that "aw the great philosophical ideas o the past century—the philosophies o Marx an Nietzsche, phenomenology, German existentialism, an psychoanalysis—haed thair beginnins in Hegel."[9]
