The Hegel Society of America (HSA) was founded in 1968 at the Wofford Symposium in Spartanburg, South Carolina, United States. Its purpose, as stated in its charter of incorporation as a learned society, is to promote the study of the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, its place within the history of thought, its relation to social, political, and cultural movements since his time, and its relevance to contemporary issues and fields of knowledge. The HSA itself neither endorses nor prefers any particular way of interpreting Hegel.

The HSA meets every two years for three days. Each meeting features a program on a theme selected democratically by the membership. The proceedings of every meeting except that held in 1980 have been published or are in press.

HSA scholars cooperate with scholars from the following institutions:

1. Hegel Society of Great Britain
2. The Internationale Hegel-Vereinigung
3. The Internationale Hegel-Gesellschaft
4. The Centre de recherche et de documentation sur Hegel
5. The Hegel-Archiv at Ruhr Universität, Bochum, Germany

The HSA official journal, The Owl of Minerva, is peer-reviewed and published twice yearly in Spring and Fall issues. Since 1969, the Owl has published approximately 1,000 articles, reviews, discussions, translations, and bibliographic information about current scholarship within Hegel studies.

All members of the Hegel Society of America receives a print subscription to the Owl, and print or electronic versions are distributed to more than 180 libraries worldwide. Memberships, and distribution of the journal in print and electronic formats, are managed by the Philosophy Documentation Center.

The Owl of Minerva is indexed in Academic Search, ArticleFirst, Current Abstracts, Expanded Academic ASAP, Index Philosophicus, InfoTrac OneFile, International Bibliography of Periodical Literature (IBZ), International Philosophical Bibliography, MLA International Bibliography, Periodicals Index Online, The Philosopher's Index, Philosophy Research Index, PhilPapers, and TOC Premier.
