With this work, Hegel introduced a scientific approach to the study
of the history of philosophy. The author himself regarded this book
as a popular introduction to his entire philosophy, and it ranks
among his most readable and accessible writings. Hegel develops the
concept of history as a rational proceeding, rather than a series
of random events. His doctrine of the historical process --
governed according to the laws of evolution and embodying the
spirit of freedom -- exercised an enormous and enduring influence.
The appearance of this translation is a major event in
English-language Hegel studies, for it is more than simply a
replacement for Wallace's translation cum paraphrase. Hegel's
Prefaces to each of the three editions of the Enzyklopadie are
translated for the first time into English. There is a very
detailed Introduction translating Hegel's German, which serves not
only as a guide to the translator's usage but also to Hegel's. Also
included are a detailed bilingual annotated glossary, very
extensive bibliographic and interpretive notes to Hegel's text (28
pp.), an Index of References for works cited in the notes, a select
Bibliography of recent works on Hegel's logic, and a detailed Index
(16 pp.). The translation is guided by the (correct) principle that
rendering Hegel's logical thought clearly and consistently requires
rendering his technical terms logically. . . . This ought
immediately to become the standard translation of this important
work. --Kenneth R. Westphal, in Review of Metaphysics

With over 100 works from 20 years of interventions in urban space,
the Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte in Dortmund has
dedicated a large overview exhibition to René Schoemakers (*1972).
From the very beginning, he has rejected any appropriation of the
individual. As a direct reflex, examining the extremisms of the
present has become central to his work, whether Christian or
Islamic, left-wing autonomist or right-wing radical: the latter,
however, in particular, since one of the attempted murders by the
Nationalist Socialist Underground (NSU) in Dortmund was committed
with the backing of a very active right-wing scene. Text in English
and German.
This is the first complete translation in over 150 years of what
many consider to be Hegel's most accessible work. The Lectures on
the Philosophy of History are a tour-de-force, an audacious attempt
to summarize world history and the purpose behind it. Was Hegel the
progenitor of the power-state that unified Germany became? The
Lectures, the mature fruit of Hegel's thought, provide many
relevant clues. Hegel saw the growth of freedom as the purpose
behind history, but he also argued that such freedom could not take
root and flourish apart from a state able to impose and enforce the
rule of law.
In "The Phenomenology of Mind, " idealist philosopher Georg Hegel
(1770-1831) defied the traditional epistemological distinction of
objective from subjective and developed his own dialectical
alternative. Remarkable for the breadth and profundity of its
philosophical insights, this work combines psychology, logic, moral
philosophy, and history to form a comprehensive view that
encompasses all forms of civilization. Its three divisions consist
of the subjective mind (dealing with anthropology and psychology),
the objective mind (concerning philosophical issues of law and
morals), and the absolute mind (covering fine arts, religion, and
philosophy).
This is a new translation, with running commentary, of what is
perhaps the most important short piece of Hegel's writing. The
Preface to Hegel's first major work, the "Phenomenology of Spirit,"
lays the groundwork for all his other writing by explaining what is
most innovative about Hegel's philosophy.
This new translation combines readability with maximum
precision, breaking Hegel's long sentences and simplifying their
often complex structure. At the same time, it is more faithful to
the original than any previous translation.
The heart of the book is the detailed commentary, supported by
an introductory essay. Together they offer a lucid and elegant
explanation of the text and elucidate difficult issues in Hegel,
making his claims and intentions intelligible to the beginner while
offering interesting and original insights to the scholar and
advanced student. The commentary often goes beyond the particular
phrase in the text to provide systematic context and explain
related topics in Hegel and his predecessors (including Kant,
Spinoza, and Aristotle, as well as Fichte, Schelling, Holderlin,
and others).
The commentator refrains from playing down (as many interpreters
do today) those aspects of Hegel's thought that are less acceptable
in our time, and abstains from mixing his own philosophical
preferences with his reading of Hegel's text. His approach is
faithful to the historical Hegel while reconstructing Hegel's ideas
within their own context."
