One of the greatest philosophers of the 19th century, Hegel (1770-1831) has influenced the direction of subsequent thought, in Europe and elsewhere. The four volumes of the Critical Assessments reflect the many-sided nature of Hegel's reception from 1831 onwards, while at the same time including critical studies on the full range of his work. The four volumes are arranged chronologically, under the following headings: 19th century readings; late 19th- and 20th-century readings - from British Hegelianism to the Frankfurt school; Hegel's phenomenology of spirit and logic; and Hegel's philosophy of nature and philosophy of spirit. The set provides: 104 articles, many of them previously hard to obtain and some previously unpublished or untranslated; an historical perspective on Hegel's reception, as well as contemporary pieces that reflect current approaches; readings from the analytic and the continental traditions; a perspective on Hegel, revealing how our understanding is coloured by historical readings of his work; and views on the divergent ways that Hegel's thought has been assessed.
