More than just an overview of Hegel's work, the essays in this volume draw on the most up-to-date research to offer new perspectives on his thought.</p> <p>With insights for students and specialists alike, <i>A Companion to Hegel</i> provides a valuable understanding of the work of a subtle and challenging philosopher of the natural and the human world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>"Comprising well written essays by internationally acclaimed Hegel scholars (although many are from North America), this volume makes an excellent and accessible reference both to scholars and students of Hegel and Hegelianism."
