Brytyjski empiryzm w Hegla Wykładach z historii filozofii

The way in which Hegel understood the eighteenth-century British philosophy determined to an extend the later interpretations of thought of the most outstanding philosophers of the British tradition. From the point of view which Hegel adopted describing the logic of the history of philosophy, Locke and Berkeley belong to metaphysical philosophy common for Descartes and Leibniz. On the other hand purely skeptical philosophy of David Hume is seen merely as the link of chain between the metaphysics and German idealistic philosophy. There is much truth in what we can find in Hegel’s writings, especially in his way of reading Locke, although the positive, systematic character of Hume’s philosophy is completely neglected.
