Reviews

The editors of this volume have collected fourteen meta-readings of Hegel's Phenomenology, that is, discussions of different strategies for interpreting this central Hegelian text. The volume contains excellent, critical discussions, for example, of the Heideggean account of the opening and method of the work, Marxian treatments of the master-slave dialectic, pragmatist or Sellarsian readings of Hegel on Antigone, and on the relation of consciousness to its object. The reader is introduced to a diversity of voices representing a wide range of philosophical traditions; and the diversity of those voices conveys an impression of how Hegel is being read today by philosophers all over the globe. -- Sally Sedgwick, Department of Philosophy, Boston University, USA.

This fine volume of essays provides an invaluable and very welcome guide to many of the most significant interpretations, past and present, of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. Essays by scholars from around the world explore the distinctive merits of (and problems in) the readings of Hegel's great work by, among others, Marx, Heidegger, Kojeve, Fanon, de Beauvoir, Jameson, Brandom, McDowell, Pippin, and Comay. These original and engaging essays, which examine topics such as recognition, alienation, spirit, religion and absolute knowing, will help students of Hegel navigate the extraordinarily diverse range of interpretations that confront them, and will also remind more established scholars of the great value of reading one another. -- Stephen Houlgate, University of Warwick, UK.
