Description: |
Presenting a detailed interpretation of Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit", this book seeks to show that the unity of this classic work may be found in the integration of its transcendental and sociological-historical themes. This interpretation emphasizes the relevance of Hegel's Phenomenology to contemporary philosophical issues. |
Synopsis: |
"This fairly small book must take its place as the best introductory study of Hegel's Phenomenology available.- Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. "Westphal's book is a comprehensive guide to the argument of the entire phenomenology...will repay close study by serious undergraduate and graduate students of philosophy." - "Choice". This detailed interpretation of Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit" seeks to show that the unity of this classic work may be found in the integration of its transcendental and sociological-historical themes. Merold Westphal argues that the key to this unity lies in Hegel's radical discovery that transcendental subjectivity has a social history and that absolute knowledge is a historically conditioned and essentially collective or social event. His distinctive interpretation emphasizes the relevance of Hegel's Phenomenology to contemporary philosophical issues. |
