Abstract
Perhaps the most significant expressions of the philosophy of history that have obsessed researchers and inspired hundreds of investigations were those ideas professed by Georg W. Hegel. This article discusses some of Hegel's arguments about history as a rational end. These ideas, since their formulation, constitute the space of the great discussions of the scholarly world, not only dedicated to speculative philosophy, but also to positivist historiography. The article is structured in three sessions: the first one, discusses the philosophical ideas of history; in the second part, the notion of history and its relation with dialectical historical materialism in Karl Marx, and in the third part, aspects of Walter Benjamin's work are discussed as a possibility for an emancipatory practice of history in Latin America.
