The preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) is one of the
most widely-read texts in Hegel's corpus, and yet we still lack a
clear understanding of its aims. Providing a fresh perspective on
Hegel's preface, Andrew Davis contends that it should be read as an
overview of what philosophy is not. Contesting previous
investigations that have assumed Hegel's purpose in the preface is
to introduce the reader to his own philosophical method, Davis
moves Hegel's positive comments about the nature of philosophy to
the background. This is, after all, where they belong in a preface,
according to Hegelian philosophy, as Hegel contends that the actual
nature of philosophy cannot be presented in advance of specific
inquiries. Examining the nature of philosophy through negation,
each chapter in the book explores a different form of
pseudo-philosophy that Hegel addresses in his preface. Together,
they allow Hegelian philosophy to appear in relief as precisely
what cannot be achieved through explanation, edification,
formalism, phenomenology, mathematical proof, propositional truth,
or personal revelation. With an appendix featuring synopses of
every paragraph of the preface, Hegel on Pseudo-Philosophy not only
offers a jargon-free introduction to Hegel's thought, but it also
yields crucial insights into the organisation of a preface that has
long been decried as haphazard or incomprehensible.
