The Accessible Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century. Unfortunately, his work is notoriously difficult to understand. There is thus a need for a clear presentation of his major philosophical contributions to help students and other interested persons in approaching the work of this important thinker.Â Philosopher Michael Allen Fox admirably fills this need in this lucid explanation of Hegel's ideas.

Fox discusses at length the chief component of Hegelâ€™s systematic philosophy -- the concept of the dialectic. According to Hegel, in a world of becoming and persistent change, reason progresses through conflict and the resolutions that arise from the dialectic of opposing elements. The tumultuous clash of opposites leads to ever new advances in human knowledge and culture.

Fox also considers many of Hegelâ€™s other ideas: his difficult notion of the Absolute, the final stage of history in which reason attains perfect mastery of the world and thought realizes its full potential; his dynamic conception of truth as evolving toward total comprehensiveness; the master-slave pattern of human relationships; the social structure of the self; the varied political interpretations and adaptations of Hegelâ€™s philosophy on both the Left and the Right; and many other aspects of Hegelâ€™s complex system.

For both beginners and those already familiar with Hegelâ€™s work, this excellent overview of one of philosophyâ€™s great geniuses offers many clarifications and insights.
