Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century. Unfortunately, reading Hegel is a notoriously difficult task and there is a good deal of debate about exactly how to interpret his words. Philosopher Michael Allen Fox admirably fills this need in "The Accessible Hegel". For both beginners and those already familiar with Hegel's work, this excellent overview of one of philosophy's great geniuses offers many clarifications and insights.
