Michael G. Laster, Girl Refuting Hegel's Dialectic Model of History, from the exhibition Based on a Thorough Understanding of the Way Things Are"
Strictly speaking, it should be Hegel's philosophy of history not a model of history; and it should be Lectures on the Philosophy of History
the vision is one of the world developing toward freedom, rationality, and understanding albeit with tendencies working in opposite directions, which are over time are reconciled.
Which bit is being refuted? The dialectics or the development of freedom?
