Hegel: Phenomenology and System

A distillation of the author’s masterful Hegel’s Ladder, this lucid introduction to Hegel’s thought articulates the conceptual unity of the Phenomenology as well as the structure of Hegel’s system and the place of the Phenomenology within it.

Reviews:

“This is an incredibly rich and provocative book for such a slim volume, and it will no doubt become a standard accompaniment to many classes on the Phenomenology, a kind of short, lucid skeleton key to the whole book.”
     —Terry Pinkard, Georgetown University

“Out of his magisterial scholarship Harris gives us three gifts in a surprisingly small package. First there is a lucid account of what Hegel’s philosophical goal is. Then there is a running summary of the Phenomenology. . . . Finally, we get a concise account of what it all means, Harris’s view of the interrelationships and relative significance of the various parts of the system.”
