Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel Books

The Hegel Lectures Series, edited by Peter C. Hodgson, highlights the significant historical impact of Hegel's lectures, particularly those delivered in Berlin during the last decade of his life. Previous editions conflated materials, obscuring the development of Hegel's thought. This series is based on recently discovered transcripts and manuscripts, reconstructing lectures from specific years to clarify Hegel's arguments. Each volume features a new translation, editorial introduction, and annotations that identify Hegel's allusions and sources. The lectures on the Philosophy of Religion are crucial to Hegel's philosophical system, with variations in conception and execution across 1821, 1824, 1827, and 1831. Earlier editions created confusion by merging these materials into a single text. The current volumes present a critical edition, separating the lectures into independent units based on a thorough re-editing of sources by Walter Jaeschke. The English translation, recognized as definitive, is produced by Robert F. Brown, Peter C. Hodgson, and J. Michael Stewart, with assistance from H. S. Harris. The three volumes include editorial introductions, critical annotations, textual variants, tables, a bibliography, and a glossary. Hegel's 'Introduction' establishes the philosophy of religion as a new discipline, addressing philosophical, theological, cultural, and epistemological issues, while 'The Concept of Religion' offers

The book presents a detailed examination of Hegel's philosophical system, focusing on his logic and its implications for understanding reality and thought. Wallace delves into Hegel's dialectical method, exploring the development of concepts and the nature of truth. The work aims to clarify Hegel's often complex ideas, making them accessible to readers. It serves as both a study of Hegel's logic and a critical engagement with his philosophical legacy, highlighting its relevance to contemporary thought.

Featuring a facsimile reprint of a scarce antiquarian work, this edition preserves the original text while acknowledging potential imperfections due to its age, such as marks and marginalia. Emphasizing its cultural significance, the book is part of an effort to protect and promote literature, offering readers an affordable, high-quality version that remains faithful to the original.

This volume is a comprehensive collection of critical essays on The Taming of the Shrew, and includes extensive discussions of the play's various printed versions and its theatrical productions. Aspinall has included only those essays that offer the most influential and controversial arguments surrounding the play. The issues discussed include gender, authority, female autonomy and unruliness, courtship and marriage, language and speech, and performance and theatricality.

This is the first critical edition of Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion (1821-31), which represent the final and in some ways the decisive element of his entire philosophical system. Volume III contains Hegel's philosophical interpretation of Christianity.

This new translation of The Science of Logic (also known as 'Greater Logic') includes the revised Book I (1832), Book II (1813), and Book III (1816). Recent research has given us a detailed picture of the process that led Hegel to his final conception of the System and of the place of the Logic within it. We now understand how and why Hegel distanced himself from Schelling, how radical this break with his early mentor was, and to what extent it entailed a return (but with a difference) to Fichte and Kant. In the introduction to the volume, George di Giovanni presents in synoptic form the results of recent scholarship on the subject, and, while recognizing the fault lines in Hegel's System that allow opposite interpretations, argues that the Logic marks the end of classical metaphysics. The translation is accompanied by a full apparatus of historical and explanatory notes.

Exploring the nature of knowledge and absolute truth, this philosophical work delves into the revelation of the spirit as an embodiment of reality. It presents a profound investigation into the processes of understanding and consciousness, offering an intellectual journey that has significant implications for philosophy. This text stands as a monumental contribution to the field, engaging with timeless questions about existence and perception.

Hegel's interpretation of the history of philosophy played a central role in the shaping of his own thought, and brought about one of the determining events of modern intellectual history.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel gave many lectures in logic at Berlin University between 1818 and his untimely death in 1831. Edited posthumously by Hegel's son, Karl, these lectures were published in German in 2001 and now appear in English for the first time. Because they were delivered orally, Lectures on Logic is more approachable and colloquial than much of Hegel's formal philosophy. The lectures provide important insight into Hegel's science of logic, dialectical method, and symbolic logic. Clark Butler's smooth translation helps readers understand the rationality of Hegel's often dark and difficult thought. Readers at all levels will find a mature and particularly clear presentation of Hegel's systematic philosophical vision.
