What is Hegel's Idea of a Phenomenology of Spirit about?

<p>Hegel's <i>Phenomenology of Spirit</i> has acquired a paradoxical reputation as one the most important <i>and</i> most impenetrable and inconsistent philosophical works. In <i>Hegel's Idea of a Phenomenology of Spirit</i>, Michael N. Forster advances an original reading of the work. His approach differs from that of previous scholars in two crucial ways: he reads the work, first, as a whole-not piecemeal, as it has usually been analyzed-and second, within the context of Hegel's broader corpus and the works of other philosophers.</p><p>The <i>Phenomenology of Spirit</i> emerges as an extraordinarily coherent work with a rich array of important and original ideas. These include a diagnosis of the ills of modernity in terms of its commitment to a series of dualisms, and a project for overcoming them; a sweeping naturalism; a deep rethinking of and response to problems of skepticism; subtle arguments for social theories of meaning and truth; and ideas based on the insight that human thought changes in fundamental ways over the course of history. Forster's unique and compelling reading unlocks the mysteries of Hegel's seminal work.</p>
