"The book covers every aspect of Hegel's mature thought, including his philosophy of history, logic, phenomenology, philosophy of nature, philosophy of subjective spirit, political philosophy, aesthetics and philosophy of religion. In the course of the book, the author relates Hegel's ideas to those of many other thinkers, including Luther, Descartes, Kant, Newton and Thomas Kuhn. He clearly shows that Hegel's is a viable philosophical enterprise with important theories to contribute to a number of modern debates." ER -
