Reihe: Classic Thinkers

GWF Hegel has long been considered one of the most influential andcontroversial thinkers of the nineteenth century, and his workcontinues to provoke debate in contemporary philosophy. This newbook provides readers with an accessible introduction toHegel's thought, offering a lucid and highly readable accountof his Phenomenology of Spirit, Science of Logic,Philosophy of Nature, Philosophy of History, andPhilosophy of Right. It provides a cogent and carefulanalysis of Hegel's main arguments, considers criticalresponses, evaluates competing interpretations, and assesses thelegacy of Hegel's work for philosophy in the presentday.
In a comprehensive discussion of the major works, J.M Fritzmanconsiders crucial questions of authorial intent raised by thePhenomenology of Spirit, and discusses Hegel'sconceptions of necessity and of philosophical method. In hispresentation of Hegel's Logic, Fritzman evaluates theclaim that logic has no presuppositions and examines whether thisendorses a foundationalist or coherentist epistemology. Fritzmangoes on to scrutinize Hegel's claims that history representsthe progressive realization of human freedom, and details how Hegelbelieves that this is also expressed in art and religion.
This book serves as both an excellent introduction to Hegel'swide-ranging philosophy for students, as well as an innovativecritique which will contribute to ongoing debates in the field.
