List includes German philosopher (5)
I believe the answer is:
hegel
'german philosopher' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hegel that I've seen before include "German philosopher, d. 1831" , "Georg Wilhelm ---, Ger. philosopher" , "German 'dialectic' philosopher" .)
