Review # 1 was written on 2011-06-03 00:00:00 Brian Siebers The first time I read this book I had to give it 1 star. I only read Hegel because I understood him to be a predecessor to Marx. As an introduction, or more, a platform to begin to comprehend Hegel, a prior other 'dialectical' text, I would not recommend this book. However, once one has a mildly firm grounding in the rhetoric of dialecticians, and the general trend of philosophies of 'being,' this book is a genuine masterpiece of lucidity. Therefore, it deserves one star for the mildly misleading title that could trick the ignorant into expecting to be enlightened. It deserves 5 stars for enlightening the already tenuously informed.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-02 00:00:00 Cynthia Lindell I'm not sure if I'm starting to understand Hegel better or if this book is more understandable, but if the 5 or so books I have now read, this was by far the best to start with. Highly recommended for anyone starting with Hegel
