Introducing Hegel

G.W.F. Hegel is one of the greatest philosophers of all time. No other thinker has had such a profound effect on the ideas and politics of the 20th century. Hegel's writings on philosophy, politics, history and art are notoriously difficult, but through them Hegel aimed to create a system of thought which would actually make sense of history. Introducing Hegel guides us through the complex thinking of this key philosopher. It is also indispensable for anyone trying to understand such modern thinkers as Marx, Sartre, Lacan and Adorno.
