Reviews / Votes
Professor Magee's text covers the whole of Hegel's works. Each entry if clearly written with examples that make Hegel's terms and ideas understandable without simplifying their meanings or inclining them toward one interpretation or another. This work is invaluable for anyone studying Hegel's philosophy, especially those coming to his writings for the first time. -- Donald Phillip Verene, Candler Professor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy, Emory Univesrity, USA Reviewed in the Tijdschrift voor Filosofie 73 (2011), 3 Magee's determination to make Hegel accessible will, one hopes, be rewarded by a new generation of readers prepared for their own adventures in the concept. -- Paul Bishop * Journal of European Studies vol 42 issue 1 *More details
