Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel bibliography

The following list of works by German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831).

Collected works in German

Standard citation numbers

Hegel is cited—unless otherwise specified—on the basis of his output according to Eva Moldenhauer and Karl Markus Michel, Frankfurt a. M.: Suhrkamp, 1979. Prior to 1979, see below. Additions such as "A" or "B" refer to annotations added to the original text.

Band or the abbreviation Bd. is the German word meaning the volume number of the work.

The "1817 Encyclopaedia" contained only outline notes for students, called Zusatz ("addition"). They are often combined with the three books of Hegel's later work called "System der Philosophie I, II, III," the combinations being called the Encyclopaedia I, II and III.
