Reviews
...he offers a book that will surprise both seasoned Hegel hands with the order and connection of its arguments and contemporary metaphysicians with the cogency of those arguments on their own playing field...Kreines' book marks an important step forward for understanding Hegel's theoretical philosophy. In clearly framing the import of Hegel's conceptual innovations by placing them against the background of options in modern metaphysics, Kreines continues his contributions towards the cultivation of a productive space for debate about the metaphysical significance of Hegel's thought. -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online A review cannot do full justice to the details of Kreines' arguments and the extent to which he brings Hegel into dialogue with contemporary philosophy...Much may and should be added to the defense of Hegel against contemporary objections. Kreines' book, however, makes a big step toward reconstructing Hegelian metaphysics and giving it renewed vitality. -- Philosophy in Review ...its value is secured by the remarkable clarity, thoroughness, and insight with which it has rearranged, reexamined, and reinterpreted an important constellation of Hegelian terms, arguments, and approaches-and also by its promise to bring Hegel into play in contemporary metaphysics. I strongly recommend it to anyone who already has, or should cultivate, an interest in Hegel, his era, or our own. -- Journal of the History of Philosophy
