Reviews

"""A masterpiece of clear, scrupulous exposition and an exceptionally able defense of Hegel's thought. It is, if anything, more interesting philosophically than the outstandingly accomplished Hegel exegesis that it also is.... Hegel's Naturalism is as stunningly good a piece of systemiatic philosophy in relation to modern life as one is likely to find anywhere.""--Richard Eldridge, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews ""Pinkard's book develops a powerful, attractive reading of Hegel's conception of spirit. While offering a wealth of insights and novel perspectives on concrete details from different parts of Hegel's system, it manages at the same time to make emerge a convincing overall picture of spirit as an open-ended, continuously struggling activity aiming at the final end of being at one with itself against all odds."" -- Mind ""In 2003-2004, Terry Pinkard, a leading scholar on Hegel, received the Humboldt prize for lifetime achievement. His current work, Hegel's Naturalism: Mind, Nature, and the Final Ends of Life (2012), attempts an overview of Hegel's thought under the aegis of Naturalism. It is written in a very clear fashion, with the notes allowing Hegel to speak for himself in lengthy quotations and sending the reader to the wide literature on Hegel."" -- American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly"
