Review # 1 was written on 2008-10-22 00:00:00 Gene Lewis A fun read. Lives up to the accusation (unlike Hegel's original) of almost being a novel. Which is not entirely a bad thing, if you like philosophers, their ideas, history, and novels. Well, it was a rush for me, at least. Shows how very 'fast-paced' my life is I guess.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-27 00:00:00 David Corsi If you have any idea how Hegelian dialectic works, you will immediately recognize that the author just took the process of the Phenomenology, smiled all glaze-eyed, threw the book onto his camp fire and stared blankly off in the distance as its pages and ink turned to black smoke and ashes. You don't get to Absolute Knowing and then pretend it didn't happen, that there is still some question about knowledge, or that the question of the Absolute immediately continues. In a way this book is admirable in that the author had the guts to attempt to move Hegelianism forward unlike the rest who simply repeat and endlessly comment. In another, this book is just a sad confirmation that perhaps no one yet has comprehended Hegel's methodology (except for Marx) and so we await a future where a sorcerer shall rise to the challenge and deliver a new Science after such a drought since Hegel left his mortal coil.
