Hegel's Practical Philosophy: Rational Agency as Ethical Life Book

I had very little background in Hegel before reading this book. Pippin is relatively clear and explains Hegel well. At times, Pippin can be a little wordy and makes points more robustly than seems necessary, but this is barely a downside as Pippin's readings and explanations of Hegel are fascinating. This book never felt like a slough for me.
This book is and will continue to be of interest to me philosophically as it centers on some of the issues on which I am most focused philosophically. I have, of course, some disagreements with Pippin (and Hegel), especially about modernity. However, overall this is an engaging read that I am sure to return to again in the future.
