The engaging discussions of his individual works serve to orient the reader to the concerns and achievements of each stage in Hegel?s thought ? as well as to its failures, which Fritzman discusses with fairness. Fritzman?s accounts of the more important influences on Hegel and of the latter?s influences on later thought are careful and wide-ranging. They not only show Hegel?s importance but also provide an excellent overview of where philosophy is today. Many think that such an overview is not possible; Fritzman shows that it is.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJohn McCumber, University of California, Los Angeles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"In this contextually rich account, J.M.

This new book provides readers with an accessible introduction to Hegel’s thought, offering a lucid and highly readable account of his \u003ci\u003ePhenomenology of Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScience of Logic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy of Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy of History\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy of Right\u003c\/i\u003e. It provides a cogent and careful analysis of Hegel’s main arguments, considers critical responses, evaluates competing interpretations, and assesses the legacy of Hegel’s work for philosophy in the present day.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In a comprehensive discussion of the major works, J.M Fritzman considers crucial questions of authorial intent raised by the \u003ci\u003ePhenomenology of Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e, and discusses Hegel’s conceptions of necessity and of philosophical method. In his presentation of Hegel’s \u003ci\u003eLogic\u003c\/i\u003e, Fritzman evaluates the claim that logic has no presuppositions and examines whether this endorses a foundationalist or coherentist epistemology. Fritzman goes on to scrutinize Hegel’s claims that history represents the progressive realization of human freedom, and details how Hegel believes that this is also expressed in art and religion. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book serves as both an excellent introduction to Hegel’s wide-ranging philosophy for students, as well as an innovative critique which will contribute to ongoing debates in the field.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements viii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Hegel’s Life and Influences 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Hegel’s Logic 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Hegel’s Philosophy of Nature and Philosophy of Spirit 94\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Hegel’s Philosophy of Right 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Hegel’s Philosophy of History 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Hegel’s Lectures on Philosophy and Religion 127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 After Hegel 136\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes 154\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSuggestions for Further Reading 161\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex 177\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407316316440,"sku":"9780745647241","price":52.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745647241.jpg?v=1784161166","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/hegel-hardback-9780745647241","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
