The authors provide much enlightenment on this difficult text, often shedding new light on well-known problems of interpretation and philosophical understanding. This makes it an extremely welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on Hegel's philosophical masterpiece."<br><i>Robert Stern, University of Sheffield</i> <p>"This is an invaluable resource for anyone attempting to come to terms with Hegel's <i>Phenomenology of Spirit</i>. The reader of Hegel's classic work is supposed to journey through a series of shapes of consciousness and spirit in a way that is not meant to be governed by some single, mechanically imposed, overarching point of view. By having a series of leading Hegel "guides", each of whom illuminates one of the stages of the journey, the Blackwell Guide is able to capture the type of organic transitioning that characterizes the work itself."<br><i>Paul Redding, University of Sydney</i> <p>This groundbreaking collective commentary on the whole of Hegel's <i>Phenomenology of Spirit</i>, written by a select group of leading international scholars, peels back the layers of Hegel's great work to reveal new insights into one of the most challenging works in the history of Western philosophy. <p>By closely analyzing the original text, each essay illuminates the philosophical issues addressed in each section of Hegel's work. By considering the role and function of each section of text within the <i>Phenomenology</i> as a whole, these essays achieve an impressive degree of cohesion. Individually and collectively, these essays also address the question of the internal unity of the <i>Phenomenology</i>, revealing its true cohesiveness. <p>The essays are suitable for advanced undergraduates and non-specialists, whilst also making original contributions to the field. The Guide begins with a synopsis of Hegel's <i>Phenomenology</i> by the editor based on the Guide's contributions, and features a select Bibliography of further sources on each of the chapters of the <i>Phenomenology</i> and a comprehensive analytical index.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This collection of essay is an invaluable guide to Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit for graduate students and Hegel Scholars.
