What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani presents Jacques D'Hondt as an almost unique Hegelian: he sets aside the logico-theological Hegel and is interested only in history1. In 2016 he devotes three tribute sessions to him. There he draws on his thesis, Hegel, philosophe de l'histoire vivante, which challenges received ideas about the end of history and stresses the element of surprise in history2. He describes him as a master of socio-historical contextualisation, who makes Hegel the philosopher of the French Revolution and defends the continuity between the young Hegel and the Hegel of maturity3. In Hegel en son temps and Hegel secret, he finds a clandestine Hegel who practises calculated risk. He often adopts D'Hondt's view that part of Hegel's obscurity comes from a ruse against censorship45. He also recalls his past in the Resistance, his lone defence of Hegel6 and his ties with Clouscard at Poitiers.
