Reviews

This book contains a range of distinct considerations brought to bear on Hegel's views and uses of language. The essays are not mere expositions of Hegel's views but are serious attempts at interpretation of the significance of Hegel's views, evaluation of the cogency and intelligibility of his position, and suggestions as to how these views relate to Hegel's philosophical predecessors and to later philosophy of language.

This book contains a range of distinct considerations brought to bear on Hegel's views and uses of language. The essays are not mere expositions of Hegel's views but are serious attempts at interpretation of the significance of Hegel's views, evaluation of the cogency and intelligibility of his position, and suggestions as to how these views relate to Hegel's philosophical predecessors and to later philosophy of language. By presenting a panorama of competent scholarship on the theme of Hegel and language, this collection opens up a number of perspectives on how to read Hegel and his thought. It is exciting, and the material is well organized and covers a number of critical themes.
