Western philosophy: c 1600 to c 1900

G. W. F. Hegel's first masterpiece, the Phenomenology of Spirit, is one of the great works of philosophy. It remains, however, one of the most challenging and mysterious books ever written.

Michael Inwood presents this central work to the modern reader in an intelligible and accurate new translation. This translation attempts to convey, as accurately as possible, the subtle nuances of the original German text. Inwood also provides a detailed commentary that explains what Hegel is saying at each stage of his argument and also discusses the philosophical issues it raises. This volume will therefore prove invaluable to those who want to get to grips with Hegel's thought processes and to follow his complex argument.

Reviews for Hegel: The Phenomenology of Spirit: Translated with introduction and commentary

Inwood's guide is both more textually engaged and more philosophically sophisticated than its predecessor [Miller]. The commentary on the Preface and Introduction is especially worthwhile . . . [the translation is] very dependable * Fred Rush, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * include[es] a helpful paragraph-by-paragraph Commentary . . . Inwood provides more aids to the reader, so is more suitable to the reader coming to the work for the first time, and is also to be recommended to those familiar with and not wanting to be taken too far from Miller. * Meade McCloughan, Marx and Philosophy *
