This article is an attempt toread the introduction of ‘Philosophy of History’ by Hegel,focusing on the conceptual status of the ‘concept’ (idea) of history developed by this author. Read-ing the text with this emphasis, we shall try to confront the main sources of criticism of Hegel'simage of history (vitalism/dialectical materialism). The crucial point is that such critical views re-main at the periphery of the Hegelian approach. This paper considers two main steps. In the firstplace, we shall follow the Hegelian solution of the ‘epistemological’ problem involved in the phi-losophy of history. In the second place, we shall focus on the foundation of the philosophy of history in Logic—understanding this last concept according to Herbert Marcuse’s exegetical vi-sion, i.e. as an ontological logic of the being as mobility. Finally, based on this, we shall interpretthe characters of ‘rationalism’ and ‘optimism’ attributed to the Hegelian approach of history.
