Hegel

Arguments of the Philosophers

by Michael J. Inwood

In this clear, critical examination of the ideas of one of the greatest and most influential of modern philosophers, M.J. Inwood makes Hegel's arguments fully accessible. He reconstructs Hegel's thought throughout the book by arguing with him, considering Hegel's system as a whole and examining the wide range of problems that it was designed to solve - metaphysical, epistemological, theological and political. Inwood concentrates especially on the logical and metaphysical ideas which underpin the system and which supply the key to understanding much of what is obscure in Hegel's thought. He examines Hegel's arguments and restates his views precisely and clearly. He also conveys the impressive unity of Hegel's system and its links with the thought of such philosophers as Aristotle, Spinoza and Kant.

Reviews

[Jon]

Anyone who can make Hegel's writings intelligible deserves the Nobel Prize. Inwood does just that, and manages to keep it to 400 pages.

Rigorous yet accessible. If you don't know where to start with Hegel, start here.

انتخاب مقالات میتونستن بهتر باشن اما من مقاله اول، از متافیزیک H.walsh و مقاله سوم هگل چارلز تیلور از Ivan Solle رو خیلی دوست داشتم.
