Editorial Reviews

Review

`Review from previous edition an excellent introduction to Hegel's thought... Hegel is neatly placed in historical context; the formal waltz of dialectic and the dialectic master and slave are economically illumined; Singer's use of analogy is at times inspired.'' Sunday Times

Review

A vivid and accessible introduction to one of Europe's most influential and difficult philosophers
