This fourth volume of Models of the History of Philosophy, a collaborative work on the history of the history of philosophy spanning from the Renaissance to the end of the nineteenth century, presents a comprehensive exploration of the so-called Hegelian age. During this era, the approach to philosophy's past assumes a central role in the act of "doing philosophy," leading to a profound identification with the same philosophy. However, this philosophy is interpreted in diverse ways, including as dialectical development, hermeneutics, organic growth, eclectic option, philosophy of experience, and a progressive pursuit of truth through the repetition of errors.

The material is organized into four extensive linguistic and cultural sections: German, French, Italian, and British. Within these sections, the book delves into a detailed analysis of 10 highly significant works that have shaped the way of conceiving and reconstructing the "general" history of philosophy, from its origins to the contemporary age. This systematic exposure is preceded and accompanied by extensive introductions that provide a historical background and offer references to numerous other works that touch upon philosophical historiography.

By undertaking this comprehensive examination, Models of the History of Philosophy offers a valuable resource for scholars and students alike, providing a deeper understanding of the evolution of philosophical ideas and the diverse approaches to philosophical historiography across different cultural contexts.
