The Philosophy of the History of Hegel seen from Boaventura de Sousa.

Abstract

Hegel being unmarked of the illustrated idea of the

progress, it introduced a teleological conception of

the world history. If the Illustration was employed

at the direction of an individual who was looking at

the future from a present of progress, the

Romanticism interpreted the facts of the past

constructing a historical look in which the whole

East is considered to be the ‘childhood’ of the

humanity, a people whose despotism and lack of

freedoms understood to the western modern way,

they were not favorable for the elevation of the

spirit. These ethnocentric suppositions are those

that Boaventura de Sousa denounces by means of a

theory Poscolonial of the History.
