In this book--the first large-scale survey of the complex relationship between Hegel's idealism and Anglo-American analytic philosophy--Tom Rockmore argues that analytic philosophy has consistently misread and misappropriated Hegel.According to Rockmore, the first generation of British analytic philosophers to engage Hegel possessed a limited understanding of his philosophy and of idealism.
