Abstract

Hegel was the first philosopher who set forth some issues as the philosophy of religion while teaching in Berlin. His perception of religion was more than common understanding, and it was also different from his contemporaneous understanding. Unlike the others, he neither put the religion aside from knowledge nor reduced it to the feelingrealm. He considered all religions in a historical evolution and attained a new perception of religion by his dialectical principals. As a result, religion was put in the speculative knowledge again. Based on the Introduction to the Lectures of the Philosophy of Religion, this article is going to demonstrate Hegel’s perception of religion as part of the speculative knowledge realm
