Hegel und Foucault, in der Forschung meist als Antipoden dargestellt, stellen beide die Frage nach der Geschichtlichkeit des Wissens. Die Studie erarbeitet diese These anhand eines Vergleichs der Phanomenologie des Geistes mit der Archaologie des Wissens Vollzieht Foucaults diskursive Analytik der Historizitat des Wissens tatsachlich einen vollstandigen Bruch mit Hegels Konzeption der Geschichtlichkeit des Geistes oder bleibt sie ihr formal, inhaltlich oder konzeptuell verpflichtet?

Various Hegel readers with different concerns are dealing with Hegel's strategy in a large range of theoretical areas.
