In this study of Hegel's philosophy, Brinkmann undertakes to defend
Hegel's claim to objective knowledge by bringing out the
transcendental strategy underlying Hegel's argument in the
Phenomenology of Spirit and the Logic. Hegel's metaphysical
commitments are shown to become moot through this transcendental
reading. Starting with a survey of current debates about the
possibility of objective knowledge, the book next turns to the
original formulation of the transcendental argument in favor of a
priori knowledge in Kant's First Critique. Through a close reading
of Kant's Transcendental Deduction and Hegel's critique of it,
Brinkmann tries to show that Hegel develops an immanent critique of
Kant's position that informs his reformulation of the
transcendental project in the Introduction to the Phenomenology of
Spirit and the formulation of the position of 'objective thought'
in the Science of Logic and the Encyclopedia of the Philosophical
Sciences. Brinkmann takes the reader through the strategic
junctures of the argument of the Phenomenology that establishes the
position of objective thinking with which the Logic begins. A
critical examination of the Introduction to the Lectures on the
History of Philosophy shows that Hegel's metaphysical doctrine of
the self-externalization of spirit need not compromise the
ontological project of the Logic and thus does not burden the
position of objective thought with pre-critical metaphysical
claims. Brinkmann's book is a remarkable achievement. He has given
us what may be the definitive version of the transcendental,
categorial interpretation of Hegel. He does this in a clear
approachable style punctuated with a dry wit, and he fearlessly
takes on the arguments and texts that are the most problematic for
this interpretation. Throughout the book, he situates Hegel firmly
in his own context and that of contemporary discussion." -Terry P.
Pinkard, University Professor, Georgetown University, Washington,
D.C, USA "Klaus Brinkmann's important Hegel study reads the
Phenomenology and the Logic as aspects of a single sustained
effort, in turning from categories to concepts, to carry Kant's
Copernican turn beyond the critical philosophy in what constitutes
a major challenge to contemporary Cartesianism." - Tom Rockmore,
McAnulty College Distinguished Professor, Duquesne University,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA "In this compelling reconstruction of
the theme of objective thought, Klaus Brinkmann takes the reader
through Hegel's dialectic with exceptional philosophical acumen....
Many aspects of this book are striking: the complete mastery of the
central tenets of Kant's and Hegel's philosophy, the admirable
clarity in treating obscure texts and very difficult problems, and
how Brinkmann uses his expertise for a discussion of the problems
of truth, objectivity and normativity relevant to the contemporary
philosophical debate. This will prove to be a very important book,
one that every serious student of Kant and Hegel will have to
read." - Alfredo Ferrarin, Professor, Department of Philosophy,
University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy
