""The organization of the text is first class, the reading of Hegel's texts sensitive and perspicacious, and the writing poised, even elegant. This would be a fine book for a scholar at any stage of his or her career. For a first book it is absolutely exceptional.""—Owl of Minerva

Glenn Alexander Magee's pathbreaking book argues that Hegel was decisively influenced by the Hermetic tradition, a body of thought with roots in Greco-Roman Egypt. Magee traces the influence on Hegel of such Hermetic thinkers as Baader, BÖhme, Bruno, and Paracelsus, and fascination with occult and paranormal phenomena.

Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition covers Hegel's philosophical corpus and shows that his engagement with Hermeticism lasted throughout his career and intensified during his final years in Berlin.

Viewing Hegel as a Hermetic thinker has implications for a more complete understanding of the modern philosophical tradition, and German idealism in particular.

Reviews for Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition

Because Hegel claimed to have attained wisdom rather than to be seeking it, Magee cannot count him as a philosopher... He draws evidence from both his work and his life. * Reference and Research Book News *
