The Philosophy of History, Vol. 2 of 2

"The Philosophy of History, Vol. 2 of 2" by Friedrich von Schlegel is a study of history and humanity's place in it through a series of talks given long ago, focusing on Christianity's major role in history. Schlegel looks at how politics and religion mix, especially how Christian ideas changed the Roman Empire and the world. He starts by talking about how he plans to look at history, pointing out that Christianity brought big changes to how people thought about right and wrong. He then goes into detail about the time when Christianity was just starting, looking at the Jewish state and what was happening politically and socially. By comparing different groups within Judaism and studying the effects of Christian teachings, Schlegel sets the stage for a closer look at how history flows and changes over time.
