Based on your comment, I went to the Simple English wikipedia page for Hegel just for laughs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Wilhelm_Friedrich_Hegel

"Hegel's principal achievement is his development of a distinctive articulation of idealism sometimes termed "absolute idealism,"[8] in which the dualisms of, for instance, mind and nature and subject and object are overcome. His philosophy of spirit conceptually integrates psychology, the state, history, art, religion, and philosophy..."

"He started Hegelianism and is a part of German Idealism. He influenced many writers and philosophers, including those who agreed with him (Bradley, Sartre, Küng, Bauer, Stirner, Marx), and those who did not agree with him (Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schelling). Hegel's books are difficult to read and deal with many different ideas at the same time. He has written about history, politics, religion, art, logic and metaphysics."
