'Beiser ... wants to provide not so much exegesis as a
comprehensive overview aimed primarily at the first-time reader.
The result is in my judgment little short of a triumph. In 350
pages Beiser manages to suggest much of the sweep and challenge of
Hegel's thought, in direct and straightforward prose, yet without
shirking the procedural difficulties of Hegel's arguments and
positions. ' - Martin Donougho, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews'An
impressive achievement - I have no doubt students will find it very
useful, and that it will be widely adopted as a teaching text: it
is written in a clear and accessible manner; it covers the right
topics to the right level; it engages with a wide range of Hegel's
works; it is critical, while also being sympathetic; and it deals
authoritatively with various matters of scholarship.' - Robert
Stern, University of Sheffield
'The best available account in the English language of the whole
sweep of Hegel's philosophy. It will be a valuable resource for
students encountering Hegel for the first time. It also makes a
significant and important contribution to the interpretation and
discussion of Hegel's philosophy.' - Sean Sayers, University of
Kent
'A very clear introduction - its greatest strengths consist in its
clarity and its ability to contextualize Hegel's philosophy ...
masterfully done ... the presentation is clear and engaging.'- Paul
Redding, University of Sydney
