About the author
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
2,293 books2,725 followersGeorg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) was a German philosopher and one of the founding figures of German Idealism. Influenced by Kant's transcendental idealism and Rousseau's politics, Hegel formulated an elaborate system of historical development of ethics, government, and religion through the dialectical unfolding of the Absolute. Hegel was one of the most well-known historicist philosopher, and his thought presaged continental philosophy, including postmodernism. His system was inverted into a materialist ideology by Karl Marx, originally a member of the Young Hegelian faction.

Non mi va di scrivere recensioni su libri che non ho finito (anche se ne ho letto o studiato attentamente la maggior parte), ma per questo faccio un'eccezione.
Si sono dette e si possono dire infinite cose su un testo del genere (che non per niente ha l'Infinito, l'Assoluto, il Non essere, il Sapere e il movimento del suo rapporto con l'Essere, il finito, il non-sapere, come argomento principale) e non ho la presunzione di poterne dire qualcosa di effettivamente rilevante. Semplicemente aggiungo ai tanti commenti una nota personale del mio rapporto con questo libro.
Si dice che i libri possano cambiarti la vita ma, come per tutte le frasi fatte, io non ho mai creduto a o provato qualcosa del genere. Dopo aver letto la Fenomenologia dello Spirito però, ho cambiato opinione. Non penso né vedo le mie esperienze, la mia vita e il mondo allo stesso modo in cui facevo prima di averla letta. Dopo anni di hating, mi sono riappacificato con Hegel e posso dire che mi ha cambiato la vita (cringe) e il solo fatto di ammettere che un libro e un autore che ho sempre disprezzato mi hanno cambiato può essere una manifestazione del fatto che questo cambiamento è vero (e anche hegelianamente, quest'ultimo ragionamento è corretto).

I didn't quite get it but it's probably just because I'm not Absolute Spirit.

ti ho odiato, e nell’odiarti ti ho amato. perché dove c’è il male cresce anche ciò che cura. grazie per avermi cambiato la vita

Takes time to read and read again for the effect
They want to make very sure you do not read Hegel out of context. We have an exceptionally long introduction that predefines what philosophy is and related sciences. Finally, we have an overview of Hegel's system by comparing it to Mr. Herbert Spenser. We also get coverage of other thinkers such as Johann Friedrich Herbart, Kant, Schopenhauer, Leibniz, Fichte, Goethe, Aristotle, Boëthius, etc. They even toss in quotes in Latin form Terentius.
This work is very wordy as is most works of the time; so get used to wordy sentences that could be expressed today with less flamboyance. There is also some overlap of the same thoughts in different sections; it may be seen as a redundancy but is necessary to make a new point of insight. If you think this is an all-the-way-out theory, keep reading as Hegel shows how it applies to everyday life as in politics. Speaking of politics, there is a lot of information on the nature of the rational mind. You will come away with the feeling that you have more than your money's worth.

July 11, 2007Finding books is a strange buisness. I know the Hegel literature very well and have done many searches but have never come across this 2 Vol. set of the Phenomenology. So, to emphasize, this is a 2 Vol. set. If your inclined to buy one of the volumns make sure you are getting what you ordered. Amazon's page on this is a little confused.
