Series: OXFORD GUIDES TO PHILOSOPHY SERIES

Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit has a long-standing reputation as one of the key books in the history of Western philosophy, but many are unsure just what it is about. Even the words in the title are disputed: What sense of <""phenomenology> "" is being used? Is Geist to be rendered <""spirit> "" or <""mind> ""? What does this have to do with Hegel's original title, <""The Science of the Experience of Consciousness> ""? To add to the perplexity, Hegel developed his own technical vocabulary in writing the book, but the jargon he created never caught on and thus there is no common usage for it. As a consequence, both the beginner and the Hegel specialist must make key decisions about to understand many basic terms in the book. This Oxford Guide walks the reader through this canonical text paragraph-by-paragraph using accessible and approachable language, such that both students and instructors--whether they come from philosophy, political theory, literature, or history backgrounds--will benefit.

Reviews for Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit: A Guide

The objective of the work remains relatively modest: it is not a question of seeking to exhaust the meaning(s) of Hegel's work, an impossible task that condemns one to the bad infinity, but rather to propose a path of interpretation, a voice ""to facilitate the conversation and not to close it"" * Emmanuel Chaput, Archives de Philosophie * One of the most valuable contributions of this monographis Pinkard's synopsis of the chapters of his commentaryat the end of the book. This allows researchers to easily scan the text for salient aspects of Pinkard's commentary, as well as giving teachers and students a quick overview of portions they may need to skip. Pinkard's conversational tone makes this volume a refreshingly accessible guide for a notoriously perplexing work. Students and teachers alike will find this text anindispensable addition to their library. This text is especially helpful for those planning to introduce Hegel's thoughts to both undergraduate and graduate students. * James Besaw, Religious Studies Review *
