Abstract: Totality thought is an important part of Hegel's philosophy and it holds an important position in the history of Western philosophy.Hegel's totality thought has a far-reaching influence on later philosophers such as Marx,Lukacs,Korsch,Gramsci,etc.Hegel's totality thought covers many ideas under its huge system,such as thinking about living individuals,thinking about alienation,rupture,difference,contingency,gap,fragmentation,and so on.Kierkegaard and Nietzsche grasped the living and differentiated individuals and began to reflect on Hegel's totality thought.Foucault seized alienation,rupture,difference,contingency,gap,and fragmentation to criticize Hegel's totality thought.It can be said that the critiques to Hegel's totality thought from Kierkegaard to Foucault have enriched Hegel's thought from another dimension.It is a critical attitude that we should take seriously to absorb the huge ideological legacy left by Hegel.Seriously cleaning up the legacy of Hegel's philosophy and clarifying its evolution in later generations is what we must do to return to the true Hegel's philosophy.

Key words: Hegel, totality thought, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Foucault, philosophy of history
