About this ebook
Philosophy for busy people. Read a succinct account of the philosophy of Hegel in just one hour.
With Hegel philosophy became very difficult indeed – even the great man himself conceded that ‘only one man understands me, and even he does not.’ His dialectical method produced the most grandiose metaphysical system known to humanity, and included absolutely everything, its most vital element being the dialectic of the thesis, antithesis and synthesis. This method arose from Hegel’s ambition to overcome the deficiencies of logic and ascend towards Mind as the ultimate reality. His view of history as a process of humanity’s self-realisation ultimately inspired Marx to synthesise his philosophy of dialectical materialism.
Here is a concise, expert account of Hegel’s life and philosophical ideas – entertainingly written and easy to understand. Also included are selections from Hegel’s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Hegel in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good introduction into Hegel where we explore his philosophical fundamentals and an in-depth timeline of his life, the book doesn't go into depth I wanted about Hegel's moral and philosophical principles although the knowledge gained from his life from childhood to death will aid in understanding his works further.
