Timeline

1907

Jean Hyppolite (8 January 1907 – 26 October 1968) was a French philosopher known for championing the work of G.W.F. Hegel, and other German philosophers, and educating some of France's most prominent post-war thinkers.

1939

In 1939 he came out with his own translation and his commentary would later form the basis of the book Genesis and Structure of the Phenomenology of Spirit (published in 1947).

1946

His major works include Genèse et structure de la Phénoménologie de l'esprit de Hegel (1946) and Études sur Marx et Hegel (1955) and the first translation of Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit into French in 1939.

Hyppolite was born in Jonzac.

He was a graduate of the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) at roughly the same time as Jean-Paul Sartre.

After graduation he embarked on a serious study of Hegel, teaching himself German in order to read The Phenomenology of Spirit in the original.

1949

After the Second World War, Hyppolite became a professor at the University of Strasbourg, before moving to the Sorbonne in 1949.

1952

In 1952, Hyppolite published Logique et existence, a work that may have had a seminal effect on what was to become known as post-structuralism.

This book tries to correlate Hegel's Phenomenology to his Logics (longer and shorter).

In doing so, it raises the questions of language, being, and difference that were to become the hallmarks of new French philosophy at the end of the 20th century.

The book was reviewed by the philosopher Gilles Deleuze.

1953

In 1953 he founded the philosophical Épiméthée collection within the PUF publishing house.

1954

In 1954, he became the director of the ENS and in 1955 produced a study of Karl Marx's earlier, more Hegelian period, at a time when the French interest in Hegel was at its apogee.

1963

In 1963, he was elected to the Collège de France and given a chair in The History of Philosophical Thought.

While philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre were known for producing new works influenced by German philosophy, Hyppolite is remembered as an expositor, teacher, and translator.

He influenced a number of thinkers, including Gilles Deleuze, who studied Hegel under him at the Lycée Henri-IV, and Michel Foucault, as well as Jacques Derrida, Gérard Granel and Étienne Balibar (at the ENS).

Hyppolite died in Paris.

1997

The translators of the English language edition of the text (SUNY Press, 1997) included Deleuze's review at the end of the volume.
