My purpose in this article is not to offer any original insights into Hegel’s ethics, but merely to provide a brief overview that draws upon the most reliable secondary sources.

Following this, there is a brief account of the relation between Hegel’s ethical and religious thought. Hege...

We study the distribution in space of the integral solutions to an integral decomposable form equation, by considering the images of these solutions under central projection onto a unit ball. If we think of the solutions as stars in the night sky, we ask what constellations are visible from the earth (the unit ball). Answers are given for a large class of examples which are then illustrated usi...
