Review # 1 was written on 2013-11-02 00:00:00 James Birchfield Alas, this book failed me and I failed to finish this book. I made it about 3/4 of the way through this book and decided my time would be better spent reading some articles explaining Hegel in a more meaningful way. I expect a collection and analysis of essential writings to include a robust collection of writings which this book did and also bring a greater understanding and context to the reader. Maybe in a class or as read as part of a seminar this book would be helpful in understanding Hegel, but it was difficult to get through. Although Hegel's brilliance is evident through his painstakingly composed essays, I the reader want to understand Hegel's contribution and hypotheses more clearly and I do not think I am going to get this out of a book that only contains Hegel's writings himself and mindless chatter about how brilliant Hegel is. Otherwise it does contain a robust collection of Hegel's writings but I was hoping for more analysis.
