Hegel is one of the greatest, but also one of the most difficult,
philosophers. In this dictionary, Michael Inwood provides a
complete survey of Hegel's thought through a series of
alphabetically organized entries that explore his terminology.
Hegel's innovative use of language, involving the influence of
German etymology and his wide knowledge of the history of
philosophy from its Greek origins, is a major aspect of his
difficulty and obscurity. To enable the reader to understand
Hegel's vocabulary, Inwood focuses on approximately 100 key terms
from the "absolute" to the "will." The etymology and development of
Hegel's terms are examined, together with their ordinary uses
during his lifetime and previous applications of the terms in
philosophy. German words, their English, Greek and Latin
counterparts, are all discussed as a key to Hegel's use of the
works and the doctrines he uses them to express.
The book also contains a brief life and intellectual portrait of
Hegel, a general account of the use of German as a philosophical
language (and Hegel's particular application of it) and a full
bibliography.
