| Abstract | ||
| Among British playwrights , George Bernard Shaw is a dramatist who envisages the hermeneutics o f history with a m ore challenging perspective w hich approximates him to a modern o utlook. I n this regard, he manages to attune his philosophy of history ( best exposed in a 1923 p lay by t he name of S aint Joan ) with the idea of F . W . Hegel, t he nineteenth - c entury German th inker , and his unique approach to the speculations on the philosophy o f history . The attempt of the present study is t o read Saint Joan through the looking glass of Hegel’s two eminent works , The Philosophy of Right and Philosophy o f History and if possible , to excruciate t he assimilations between t he t wo thinkers a nd their involvement in the notion of history . | ||
