 In the preparation of this second edition, the editors drew largely on several important papers found amongst Hegel's manuscripts, in which his ideas were developed in much greater detail than in any of the sketches previously 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 complete copies of the lectures made by some of Hegel's most distinguished pupils.Yet, the book in the form in which we have it, remains an editorial compilation.
