The Accessible Hegel

Demystifying Hegel's complex, influential philosophical ideas.

If you've ever felt intrigued yet intimidated by Hegel's profound thoughts, "The Accessible Hegel" could be a game-changer. Michael Allen Fox takes the dense cloud of Hegel's philosophy and condenses it into an intellectual drizzle that's refreshing to the mind. The book could very well serve as your personal guide through the maze of dialectics, unveiling the impact of Hegel's work on modern thought and culture. It's a deep dive into philosophy made less daunting.

Description

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. Philosopher Michael Allen Fox admirably fills this need in this lucid explanation of Hegel's ideas. Fox discusses at length the chief component of Hegel'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 Hegel's other difficult notions, including 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 Hegel's philosophy on both the Left and the Right; and many other aspects of Hegel's complex system. For both beginners and those already familiar with Hegel's work, this excellent overview of one of philosophy's great geniuses offers many clarifications and insights.
