Text extracted from opening pages of book: About the Author Jacob Loewenberg, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cali fornia, Berkeley, began his teaching ca reer at Harvard as assistant to Josiah Royce, whose posthumous papers he edited. He taught for many decades at California, where his wit and wisdom have long been legendary. Of his last years of active teaching, three were spent at Columbia, where he taught his famous seminar on The Phenomenology of Hegel. It is this seminar ( and its predecessor at California) which forms the basis for the present definitive work on The Phenom enology for which the Hegel scholars of the world have long been waiting. In 1953, Loewenberg delivered the ninth series of Paul Carus Lectures later pub lished as his now classic Reason and the Nature of Things ( Open Court, 1959), in which he presents to the ordinary reader the effort of the Western Mind, sustained for centuries, to grapple with the major problems of human life and destiny/' The two interlocutors, Hardith and Meredy, whose sustained dialogue in the present work constitutes the eloquent vehicle for the presentation in dialectical fashion of Loewenberg's thought, were first introduced in an earlier work, Dia logues from Delphi, published in 1949 by the University of California Press.

J. L. Preface Something needs to be said in justification of a new book on Hegel. Much has been written on his philosophy, and nothing fresh, it would seem, could now be added to the bulk of Hegelian scholarship. But the present volume, I hasten to state, is not designed to offer one more interpretation of Hegel's system. I propose neither to praise Hegel nor to bury him. My chief purpose is to afford a suitable approach to but one of Hegel's works which, as Windelband characterized it, is perhaps the most difficult treatise in the history of philosophy. The Phenomenology of Mind, published in 1807, was Hegel's first major work. Bewildering in matter and forbidding in manner, this early treatise has remained subject to conflicting valuations. To some it repre sents the very essence of Hegelianism, to others it exhibits a superseded position, the later writings alone constituting the true canon. The treatise has not been without panegyrists. William Wallace, for example, in a note introductory to his translation of Hegel's Logic, quotes with approval the dictum of David Strauss that the Phenomenol ogy is the Alpha and Omega of Hegel, and his later writings only extracts from it; and but here, as Wallace continues, the Pegasus of mind soars free through untrodden fields of air, and tastes the joys of firstlove and the pride of fresh discovery in the quest for truth. . . . The mood is Olympian, far above the turmoil and bitterness of lower earth. . . . But the Phenomenology is a key which needs consummate patience and skill to use with advantage. If it commands a larger view [ than the Encyclopaedia], it demands a stronger wing of him who would voyage through the atmosphere of thought up to its purest empyrean. Hyperbolic language, this. Yet, in spite of the extravagant figures of speech, the statement intimates a side of Hegel not unjustly deemed esoteric. In the Ph
