Φαινομενολογία του πνεύματος, τόμος Α

by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Δημήτρης Τζωρτζόπουλος (Μεταφραστής)

Αυτός ο τόμος παρουσιάζει την γνώση στο γίγνεσθαί της. Η Φαινομενολογία του πνεύματος πρόκειται να αντικαταστήσει τις ψυχολογικές εξηγήσεις ή ακόμη τις αφηρημένες έρευνες για την θεμελίωση της γνώσης. Αυτή εξετάζει την προκαταρκτική διαδικασία που οδηγεί στην επιστήμη από μια άποψη, η οποία την καθιστά μια νέα, ενδιαφέρουσα επιστήμη, την πρώτη επιστήμη της Φιλοσοφίας. Εμπεριέχει τις διάφορες μορφές του πνεύματος ως εσωτερικούς σταθμούς της πορείας, μέσω της οποίας αυτό γίνεται καθαρή γνώση ή απόλυτο πνεύμα. Ο πλούτος των εμφανίσεων του πνεύματος, που εκ πρώτης όψεως παρουσιάζει εικόνα χάους, μπαίνει σε μια επιστημονική τάξη, η οποία τις παρουσιάζει σύμφωνα με την αναγκαιότητά τους και μέσα στην οποία οι ατελείς εμφανίσεις αποσυντίθενται και μεταβαίνουν σε ανώτερες, οι οποίες αποτελούν την προσεχή τους αλήθεια.

About the author

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) was a German philosopher and one of the founding figures of German Idealism. Influenced by Kant's transcendental idealism and Rousseau's politics, Hegel formulated an elaborate system of historical development of ethics, government, and religion through the dialectical unfolding of the Absolute. Hegel was one of the most well-known historicist philosopher, and his thought presaged continental philosophy, including postmodernism. His system was inverted into a materialist ideology by Karl Marx, originally a member of the Young Hegelian faction.

I didn't quite get it but it's probably just because I'm not Absolute Spirit.

Takes time to read and read again for the effect

They want to make very sure you do not read Hegel out of context. We have an exceptionally long introduction that predefines what philosophy is and related sciences. Finally, we have an overview of Hegel's system by comparing it to Mr. Herbert Spenser. We also get coverage of other thinkers such as Johann Friedrich Herbart, Kant, Schopenhauer, Leibniz, Fichte, Goethe, Aristotle, Boëthius, etc. They even toss in quotes in Latin form Terentius.

This work is very wordy as is most works of the time; so get used to wordy sentences that could be expressed today with less flamboyance. There is also some overlap of the same thoughts in different sections; it may be seen as a redundancy but is necessary to make a new point of insight. If you think this is an all-the-way-out theory, keep reading as Hegel shows how it applies to everyday life as in politics. Speaking of politics, there is a lot of information on the nature of the rational mind. You will come away with the feeling that you have more than your money's worth.

Finding books is a strange buisness. I know the Hegel literature very well and have done many searches but have never come across this 2 Vol. set of the Phenomenology. So, to emphasize, this is a 2 Vol. set. If your inclined to buy one of the volumns make sure you are getting what you ordered. Amazon's page on this is a little confused.
