Reviews
Review(s) from previous edition:
  • 'an excellent introduction to Hegel's thought... Hegel is neatly placed in historical context; the formal waltz of dialectic and the dialectic master and slave are economically illumined; Singer's use of analogy is at times inspired.'' - Sunday Times

Description
  • Hegel is one of the most influential figures on modern political and intellectual development
  • Peter Singer is an important and well-know author in the field of philosophy, famous for his work on ethics and animal rights
  • Difficult and obscure ideas are cleary explained
  • Ideal introduction to Hegel
Many people regard Hegel's work as obscure and extremely difficult, yet his importance and influence are universally acknowledged. Professor Singer eliminates any excuse for remaining ignorant of the outlines of Hegel's
philosophy by providing a broad discussion of his ideas and an account of his major works.
