Robert Stern (1962–2024)

Members of the Hegel Society of Great Britain (HSGB) owe Stern a special debt, as he was a leading figure in the Society for many years.He edited the Bulletin of the Hegel Society of Great Britain (now Hegel Bulletin) from 1991 to 1997, and he was President of the HSGB from 2004 to 2011.He co-organized numerous conferences for the HSGB and helped promote the work of a great many young scholars and students.Indeed, he provided practical support and inspiration for more people than he could ever imagine.In this piece, we would like to say a little more about Stern's academic contributions to the study of Hegel and the post-Kantian tradition more broadly.
