Reissue from the classic Muirhead Library of Philosophy series
(originally published between 1890s - 1970s).
First published in 2002. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
A reprint, with new Introduction, of the Harper Torch edition of
1970. The famous introductory lectures collected in this volume
represent the distillation of Hegel's mature views on the three
most important activities of spirit, and have the further
advantage, shared by his lectures in general, of being more
comprehensible than those works of his published during his
lifetime. A new Introduction, Select Bibliography, Analytical Table
of Contents, and the restoration in the section headings of the
outline of Hegel's lectures make this new edition particularly
useful and welcome.
. . . eminently readable . . . admirably picks up the spirit of
what Hegel is saying. . . . more readable and accurate than
Hartmann's, and it trans lates a more readable text than does
Nisbet's. It includes (as Hartmann's does not) an excerpt, which
serves as chapter five, from 'The Geo graphical Basis of History'
(particularly interesting for what it says of America), and a brief
chapter six, entitled 'The Division of History.' The volume closes
with an appendix, translating 341--360 of Hegel's Philosophy of
Right and deals directly with the very concept of 'World History.'

THE WOFFORD SYMPOSIUM: ITs PURPOSE, GENESIS, AND THEME The purpose
of The Wofford Symposium was to stimulate original scholarship on
the theme of the meeting, to provide a forum in philosophy of high
quality in the area which Wofford College principally serves, and
to make available for publication this collection of papers, which
it was felt would meet a peculiar need in the contemporary
literature of philosophy. In April, 1967, I attended the annual
meeting of the Metaphysical Society of America at Purdue
University. Noting the frequency with which Hegel was brought into
the discussions at that meeting, I was led on two occasions to
inject the question into informal group discussions in the halls,
"Isn't it time some sort of symposium on Hegel was held?" On the
last occasion Professor Frederick Weiss replied, "Why don't you
start it?" I'm not yet certain how serious the remark was intended
to be, but after waiting two months, half expecting to hear of a
plan under way, it occurred to me that perhaps what was wanting was
a concrete proposal.
This is a much-needed reissue of the standard English translation
of Hegel's Philosophy of Nature, originally published in 1970. The
Philosophy of Nature is the second part of Hegel's Encyclopaedia of
the Philosophical Sciences, all of which is now available in
English from OUP (Part I being his Logic, Part III being his
Philosophy of Mind).
Hegel's aim in this work is to interpret the varied phenomena of
Nature from the standpoint of a dialectical logic. Those who still
think of Hegel as a merely a priori philosopher will here find
abundant evidence that he was keenly interested in and very well
informed about empirical science. The Philosophy of Nature is
integral to his philosophical system and deserves the most serious
attention. Students and scholars of Hegel and the history of
European philosophy will welcome the availability of this important
text, which also includes a translation of Hegel's Zusatze or
lecture notes.
This volume includes Hegel's most important early theological
writings, though not all of the materials collected by Herman Nohl
in his definitive Hegels theologische Jugendschriften (Tuebingen,
1907). The most significant omissions are a series of fragments to
which Nohl give the general title "National Religion and
Christianity" and the essay "Life of Jesus."
A current and highly readable new translation of a primary text in
Western philosophy. Introduction, notes, glossary and complete
translation. Modern Students can now appreciate the wisdom of the
world's greatest thinkers. Through clear, faithful translations,
renowned scholars have made classical philosophical texts
accessible and inspirational.
This new annotated translation of Chapter Six of Hegel's
Phenomenology of Spirit , the joint product of a group of scholars
that included H. S. Harris, George di Giovanni, John W. Burbidge,
and Kenneth Schmitz, represents an advance in accuracy and fluency
on previous translations into English of this core chapter of the
Phenomenology. Its notes and commentary offer both novice and
scholar more guidance to this text than is available in any other
translation, and it is thus well suited for use in survey courses.

"The publication of . . . this book is an intellectual
event."--Alasdair MacIntyre One of the central problems in the
history of moral and political philosophy since antiquity has been
to explain how human society and its civil institutions came into
being. In attempting to solve this problem philosophers developed
the idea of natural law, which for many centuries was used to
describe the system of fundamental, rational principles presumed
universally to govern human behavior in society. By the eighteenth
century the doctrine of natural law had engendered the related
doctrine of natural rights, which gained reinforcement most
famously in the American and French revolutions. According to this
view, human society arose through the association of individuals
who might have chosen to live alone in scattered isolation and who,
in coming together, were regarded as entering into a social
contract. In this important early essay, first published in English
in this definitive translation in 1975 and now returned to print,
Hegel utterly rejects the notion that society is purposely formed
by voluntary association. Indeed, he goes further than this,
asserting in effect that the laws brought about in various
countries in response to force, accident, and deliberation are far
more fundamental than any law of nature supposed to be valid always
and everywhere. In expounding his view Hegel not only dispenses
with the empiricist explanations of Hobbes, Hume, and others but
also, at the heart of this work, offers an extended critique of the
so-called formalist positions of Kant and Fichte. "An invaluable
translation . . . of a document in his fruitful Jena period which
is crucial to our understanding of Hegel's maturity. This essay on
natural law throws much light on the "Phenomenology" soon to appear
as well as the later "Philosophy of Right." It amounts to a
philosophical declaration of independence for Hegel: his departure
from the theological preoccupations of his youth on the one and the
tutelage of Kant and Fichte on the other. "The Phenomenology of
Spirit" will announce his independence from Schelling, too, and
philosophy will henceforth play for him the role formerly held by
religion in the life and destiny of a people."--J. Glenn Gray "It
is an immense advantage to students of political philosophy in
general, and to Hegel scholars in particular, to have Hegel's early
essay on the scientific treatment of natural law available in
English. . . . Acton's introduction supplies useful historical
background and will assist those unacquainted with Hegel . . . to
sort out the main argument."--Errol E. Harris

The Phenomenology of Spirit, first published in 1807, is G. W. F.
Hegel’s remarkable philosophical text that examines the dynamics
of human experience from its simplest beginnings in consciousness
through its development into ever more complex and self-conscious
forms. The work explores the inner discovery of reason and its
progressive expansion into spirit, a world of intercommunicating
and interacting minds reconceiving and re-creating themselves and
their reality. The Phenomenology of Spirit is a notoriously
challenging and arduous text that students and scholars have been
studying ever since its publication. In this long-awaited
translation, Peter Fuss and John Dobbins provide a succinct, highly
informative, and readily comprehensible introduction to several key
concepts in Hegel's thinking. This edition includes an extensive
conceptual index, which offers easy reference to specific
discussions in the text and elucidates the more subtle nuances of
Hegel's concepts and word usage. This modern American English
translation employs natural idioms that accurately convey what
Hegel means. Throughout the book, the translators adhered to the
maxim: if you want to understand Hegel, read him in the English.
This book is intended for intellectuals with a vested interest in
modern philosophy and history, as well as students of all levels,
seeking to access or further engage with this seminal text.
