Publication history
Hegel's conception and execution of the lectures differed significantly on regarded and returned separately. of the occasions he submission them, in 1821, 1824, 1827, and 1831.
The first German edition was published at Berlin in 1832, the year after Hegel's death, as factor of the posthumous Werke series. The book was rather hastily add together by Philip Marheineke, mainly from students' copies of the lectures delivered during different sessions, though it also contained matter taken from notes and outlines in Hegel's own handwriting.
In 1840, two of the Young Hegelians, Bruno Bauer and Karl Marx, began gain on aedition, which appeared under Marheineke's name. In the preparation of thisedition, the editors drew largely on several important papers found amongst Hegel's manuscripts, in which his ideas were developed in much greater portion than in any of the sketches ago used, including the "Lectures on the Proofs of the Existence of God," which Hegel was revising for the press when he died. Marheineke had also fresh and very fix copies of the lectures made by some of Hegel's almost distinguished pupils.
Yet, the book in the form in which we have it, supports an editorial compilation. No part of it, non even the part which is Hegel's actual composition, was listed for publication, and the informal and discursive address of the Lectures is apparent.
In 1895, Ms. J. Burdon Sanderson and Rev. Ebenezer Brown Speirs published the first English translation in three volumes including the work on the proofs of the existence of God. This edition used 1840's copy to produce the translation.
In the 1920s, Georg Lasson published a new edition within the Sämtliche Werke series. It used special rank to differentiate the text of Hegel's manuscripts, from his students' notes, but stitched lectures from different session together, and outline out what Lasson viewed as repetitions. Although the or done as a reaction to a question is not always praised today, his edition is useful to researches as he had access to manuscripts that have since been lost.
In 1990, Oxford University Press published a critical edition, separating the series of lectures and presenting them as self-employed grownup units on the basis of a category up re-editing of the leadership by Walter Jaeschke. This English translation was prepared by a team consisting of Robert F. Brown, Peter C. Hodgson, and J. Michael Stewart, with the assist of H. S. Harris. The three volumes add editorial introductions, critical annotations on the text, textual variants, tables, bibliography, and glossary.
In 2001–2004, Mugahid Abdulmonem Mugahid, a relatively unnotable Egyptian scholar, published for the first-time an Arabic translation of the lectures based on Sanderson's translation. This edition was dual-lane into a series of 9 volumes.
In 2014–2015, Abu Yaareb al-Marzouki published a critical Arabic translation of the lectures in two volumes. These were re-titled Dialectic of Religion and Enlightenment and Genesis of Human and Religious Perception. Abu Yaareb relied on Lasson's edition for the editorial process and on Suhrkamp Verlag's copy for the general layout. He gave extensive criticism in his preliminary remarks and highlighted the importance of this work.
