Very Good. No Jacket as Issued. I2-A paperback book in very good condition that has some bumped corners, old price label adhered on the back, light discoloration and shelf wear. Continental European Philosophy, Series Editor: John Shand. 9.25"x6.25", 166 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Few philosophers can induce as much puzzlement among readers as Hegel, whose works are notoriously dense and make very few concessions for a readership unfamiliar with his systematic view of the world. Allen Speight's introduction to Hegel's philosophy takes a chronological perspective on the development of Hegel's system, allowing him to illuminate some of the most important questions in Hegelian scholarship by examining works such as the Phenomenology and the Logic in their respective contexts. Speight begins with the young Hegel and his writings prior to the Phenomenology, focusing on the notion of positivity and how Hegel's social, economic and religious concerns became linked to systematic and logical ones. He then examines the Phenomenology in detail, including its treatment of scepticism, the problem of immediacy, the transition from "consciousness" to "self-consciousness", and the emergence of the social and historical category of "Spirit". The following chapter explores the Logic, paying particular attention to a number of issues associated with Hegel's claims to systematicity and the relation between the categories of Hegel's logic and nature or spirit (Geist). The final chapters discuss Hegel's ethical and political thought and the three elements of his notion of "absolute spirit"-art, religion and philosophy-as well as the importance of history to his philosophical approach as a whole.
