Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-12 00:00:00 Brandi Apps I might be a little unfair with the "star rating", but I felt that to combine Hegel's chapters on Reason and Spirit in a single sweeping chapter was a bit much… they *at least* require a chapter each! Nevertheless, Verene's book is definitely does a great job of summing up the thrust of 'The Phenomenology'. In fact, I can understand the sort of rushed treatment of Reason and Spirit since Verene argues that the structure of the entire book is already apparent in the sections on Consciousness and Self-Consciousness as well as the understanding, emphasizing for "twoness" as the major feature of Hegel's philosophy. This is, of course, true. The writing is definitely interesting enough to seek more by Verene, most of all 'Hegel's Recollection.'

Review # 2 was written on 2013-02-26 00:00:00 Thomas Eriksen A great collection of essays centering around Michel Foucault's texts. In particular there is a section devoted to Foucault's work entitled History of Madness. Contributions from Michel Serres (on Space), Jacques Derrida (on psychoanalysis), Gilles Deleuze (on Dispositif), Arnold Davidson, and even Foucault's dissertation advisor Georges Canguilheim make this book a seminal text for Foucault scholars.
