Robert C. Solomon, “In the Spirit of Hegel”
Oxford University Press, USA | 1985-10-31 | ISBN: 0195036506 | 668 pages | DjVu | 4,5 MB
The Phenomenology of Spirit was Hegel’s grandest experiment, changing our vision of the world and the very nature of philosophical enterprise. In this book, Solomon captures the bold and exhilarating spirit, presenting the Phenomenology as a thoroughly personal as well as philosophical work. He begins with a historical introduction, which lays the groundwork for a section-by-section analysis of the Phenomenology. Both the initiated and readers unacquainted with the intricacies of German idealism will find this to be an accessible and exciting introduction to this great philosopher’s monumental work.

“This is the best single volume on Hegel available. In plain, and often sparkling, English, it does a wonderful job of explicating this tremendously difficult thinker. It also provides a convincing argument that Hegel is not merely a historical curiosity but a very contemporary thinker. It includes a valuable intellectual historical summary that places Hegel within the literary, philosophical, and political thought of his day, a remarkably lucid glossary that translates Hegel’s notoriously difficult terminology into plain English, and a fabulous chapter-by-chapter explication of what is arguably Hegel’s most important work, The Phenomenology of Spirit.” - reader’s review.
