Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Hegel'S Phenomenology : The Sociality Of Reason by Terry Pinkard
The Phenomenology of Spirit is both one of Hegels most widely read books and one of his most obscure. The book is the most detailed commentary on Hegels work available. It develops an independent philosophical account of the general theory of knowledge, culture, and history presented in the Phenomenology. In a clear and straightforward style, Terry Pinkard reconstructs Hegels theoretical philosophy and shows its connection to ethical and political theory. He sets the work in a historical context and shows the contemporary relevance of Hegels thought for European and Anglo-American philosophers. The principal audience for the book is teachers and students of philosophy, but the great interest in Hegels work and the clarity of Pinkards exposition ensure that historians of ideas, political scientists, and literary theorists will also read it.show more
