[Charlie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I picked up this book because I was interested in learning more about Hegel's philosophy in regards to History and Marxist thought. I'm definitely not ready to tackle Hegel's writing without a little guidance. I found this book to be a good guide to Hegel's "Philosophy of History". The author broke down very complex passages until they were understandable. I have never studied philosophy extensively so my opinion is largely uninformed. However, I believe the book provided what I wanted from it. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to get a better understanding of Hegel's influential philosophy of history.
