The Bloomsbury Companion to Hegel

‘This is a complete introduction and systematic discussion of Hegel’s system written by competent and renowned Hegel scholars from many countries. The chapters treat each part of the system – Phenomenology, Logic, Philosophy of Nature and Spirit, State, Art and Religion – in a lucid and truly enlightening way. Hegel’s revolutionary insights are shown to be of high relevance for many modern questions in epistemology and ontology, rational theology or social philosophy. Clearly among the best and most helpful introductions and discussions of Hegel ever published.’ —Ludwig Siep, Professor At Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat Munster, Germany 20121105

‘This is a fine collection of essays by first rate scholars from eight different countries and an impressively wide range of philosophical backgrounds. The essays, which are both scholarly and accessible, shed valuable light on Hegel’s system, important themes running through this system (such as negation and mediation), the challenging forms of argument deployed by Hegel, and his extraordinarily rich influence on subsequent generations. This immensely informative and thought-provoking collection will be welcomed by students and specialists alike.’ — Stephen Houlgate, Professor In The Department Of Philosophy, University Of Warwick, UK 20121105
