33Hegel’s Theory of Intelligibility by Rocío ZambranaJournal of the History of Philosophy 55 (1): 172-173. 2017.This is a rich and thought-provoking study of Hegel’s all-too-often neglected masterpiece, the Science of Logic. Zambrana draws on commentators, such as Robert Pippin, Robert Brandom and Karin de Boer, to construct a highly original and challenging interpretation of the Logic. Her principal thesis is that, for Hegel, our conceptions of nature, self, and society are not simply given to us but are the “product of reason”. More precisely, such conceptions, through which we render the world and ours…Read more

60Reason in Religion (review)The Owl of Minerva 23 (2): 183-188. 1992.The publication in the mid-1980s of the new critical edition of Hegel’s lectures on the philosophy of religion is widely recognized to have been one of the most important events in the history of modern Hegel scholarship. By differentiating between Hegel’s own manuscript and the individual transcripts of the lectures made by his students, this edition enabled a wider philosophical public to trace for the first time the development of Hegel’s philosophy of religion throughout the 1820s. In view o…Read more

W. F. Hegel indicates that Hegel and Derrida are extraordi- narily different thinkers. Hegel is clearly what Derrida would regard as a philosopher of presence, working toward the point "where knowledge no longer needs to go beyond itself, where knowledge finds itself," where con- sciousness is present to itself as it is in itself. 1 …Read more

200Phenomenology and De Re Interpretation: A Critique of Brandom’s Reading of HegelInternational Journal of Philosophical Studies 17 (1). 2009.Brandom's interpretation of Hegel in Tales of the Mighty Dead is subtle, tightly argued and hugely impressive. It takes no account, however, of Hegel's distinctive conception of phenomenology and as a result - for all its subtlety - offers a somewhat distorted picture of Hegel. In the opening chapters of Hegel's Phenomenology we learn that perception is committed as much to the unity of differences as to exclusive difference, that neither perception nor understanding is committed to holism as Br…Read more

146World History as the Progress of ConsciousnessThe Owl of Minerva 22 (1): 69-80. 1990.In this paper I wish to consider the following sentence from Hegel’s lectures on the philosophy of history: “World history is the progress of the consciousness of freedom, — a progress whose necessity it is our business to comprehend.” I wish to consider this sentence because it seems to me to lie at the heart of two important misunderstandings of Hegel’s philosophy of history. On the one hand, the statement that world history is the progress of the consciousness of freedom has led some — notabl…Read more

94Hegel and the Arts (edited book)Northwestern University Press. 2007.That aesthetics is central to Hegel's philosophical enterprise is not widely acknowledged, nor has his significant contribution to the discipline been truly appreciated. Some may be familiar with his theory of tragedy and his doctrine of the "end of art," but many philosophers and writers on art pay little or no attention to his lectures on aesthetics. The essays in this collection, all but one written specifically for this volume, aim to raise the profile of Hegel's aesthetic theory by showing …Read more

36Die Wesenslogik in Hegels "Wissenschaft der Logik" (review)Review of Metaphysics 49 (4): 953-955. 1996.The "logic of essence" is arguably the most important part of Hegel's Science of Logic, since it is where he offers his distinctive account of the fundamental concepts of metaphysics, such as form, substance, and causality. Yet, by Hegel's own admission, the "logic of essence" is by far "the most difficult part of the Logic" ; indeed, it is regarded by some as quite impenetrable. What Gerhard Martin Wölfle tries to do in this ambitious and remarkably lucid book is remove some of the difficulty o…Read more

89Hegel, Nietzsche and the Criticism of MetaphysicsCambridge University Press. 1986.This study of Hegel and Nietzsche evaluates and compares their work through their common criticism of the metaphysics for operating with conceptual oppositions such as being/becoming and egoism/altruism. Dr Houlgate exposes Nietzsche's critique as employing the distinction of Life and Thought, which itself constitutes a metaphysical dualism of the kind Nietzsche attacks. By comparison Hegel is shown to provide a more profound critique of metaphysical dualism by applying his philosophy of the dia…Read more
