About this ebook

This volume by Philip J. Kain is one of the most accessibly written books on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit available. Avoiding technical jargon without diluting Hegel's thought, Kain shows the Phenomenology responding to Kant in far more places than are usually recognized. This perspective makes Hegel's text easier to understand. Kain also argues against the traditional understanding of the absolute and touches on Hegel's relation to contemporary feminist and postmodern themes.

This book is a great resource for anybody trying to understand Hegel. Kain's writing is clear and concise, while conveying the complexity of Hegel's thought and providing insight into the important questions and controversies that arose from his work. The book is also ideal for those with less background on Hegel--it is Kain's talent to be able to explain Hegel to both the novice and the expert.
