Ebook: Introducing Hegel: a graphic guide

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel is one of the greatest thinkers of all time. No other philosopher has had such a profound impact on the ideas and political events of the 20th century. Hegel's influential writings on philosophy, politics, history and art are parts of a larger systematic whole. They are also among the most difficult in the entire literature of philosophy. Introducing Hegel guides us through a spectacular system of thought which aimed to make sense of history. The book also provides new perspectives on contemporary postmodern debates about 'metanarratives' (Lyotard) and the 'end of history' (Fukuyama). It is an ideal introduction to this crucial figure in the history of philosophy, and is indispensable for anyone trying to understand such key modern thinkers as Marx, Lacan, Satre and Adorno.;Cover; Title Page; Copyright; Contents; The Life; Hegel's Sister, Christiane; Foreseeing Psychotherapy?; Hegel's Education; The Excerpt Mill; A Student in Tübingen; Hölderlin and Schelling; Hegel's Reading; The Example of Goethe; The French Revolution; Hegel and the Spirit of '89; Absolute Freedom and the Terror; Hegel as Private Tutor; The Swiss Aristocracy; Political Economy; Outstripped by Schelling; The Importance of Hölderlin; Introducing Kant; The 3 Critiques; A Schizophrenia in Philosophy; Church and State; The Christian Religion; Introducing Spinoza; Introducing Fichte; Enlightenment ...
