Opis

This book is the most detailed commentary on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit available and develops an independent philosophical account of the general theory of knowledge, culture, and history contained in it. Written in a clear and straightforward style, the book reconstructs Hegel's theoretical philosophy and shows its connection to the ethical and political theory. Terry Pinkard sets the work in a historical context and reveals the contemporary relevance of Hegel's thought to European and Anglo-American philosophers.

Recenzje

'It is a remarkable reconstruction indeed. Among other things, it is a model of lucid and disciplined philosophical writing … He takes Hegel's seemingly disconnected discussions … and successfully weaves them together into a coherent argument.' Sally Sedgwick, Dartmouth College
