Hegel’s Theory of Mental Activity [Book Review]

The Owl of Minerva 26 (2):224-228 (1995)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The purpose of this book is the exegesis and criticism of §§ 387-482 of the Encyclopedia. DeVries is skillful at this task, coloring his portrait of subjective spirit with understandings of relevant sections of Hegel’s other texts, notably the Phenomenology and the two Logics. The result is worth reading, for it proves to offer several new and - as the author himself expressly wishes - “controversial” ways of looking at the philosophy of spirit.
