{{Short description|German Protestant theologian}} '''Georg Lasson''' (13 July 1862 – 2 December 1932) was a German Protestant theologian, and a son of Adolf Lasson. He was a co-editor of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's ''Sämtliche Werke'' in the Meiner edition (see Hegel bibliography). Although the result is not always praised today, his edition is useful to researches as he had access to manuscripts that have since been lost.<ref name=hodgsonrel>{{Cite book | publisher = University of California Press | isbn = 0520061268 | last = Hegel | first = Georg Wilhelm Friedrich |author2=Peter Crafts Hodgson |author3=Robert F Brown | title = Lectures on the philosophy of religion. | location = Berkeley | date = 1988 | page = 9 }}</ref>

He published his theological research in ''Theorie des christilichen Dogmas'' (1897) and ''Grundfragen der Glaubenslehre'' (1913).<ref name=DB/> After 1900 he went to philosophy. Influenced by his father Adolf Lasson, he worked on Hegel and German Idealism that he interpreted through the Greek thought (Plato and Aristoteles). In Hegel's dialectic he saw a possibility for a synthesis between philosophy and theology. He described the dialectic as the "identity of identity and non-identity" (''Was heisst Hegelianismus?'', 1916).<ref>Biographisch-Bibliographisches Kirchenlexikon, IV (1992), 1212-1213</ref> He published a critical edition of Hegel's works and edited a series called ''Hegel Archiv'' (1912),<ref>[https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/492990844 Hegel-Archiv. / Band I und II] OCLC WorldCat</ref> after the ''Kant Studien''.
