"Stephen Houlgate has produced what is, without question, the most
comprehensive and useful selection of Hegel texts yet. Not only has
he provided generous selections from the whole range of Hegel's
output, from the early writings through the mature system, but
somehow he has also managed to include nearly every passage that
has become important to later philosophers from Marx and Feuerbach
through Heidegger, Adorno, Derrida and Deleuze. Add to this
Houlgate's splendid introduction in which he lucidly outlines the
fundamental gestures of Hegel's thought as radicalising and
completing Kant's project for a critical philosophy, and one has a
one-volume 'Hegel' that will deservedly dominate the field for
years to come." J. M. Bernstein, Vanderbilt University

"Houlgate's collection is the best and most thoughtful assembly of
Hegel's key writings in one volume to date. In some ways, this is
the 'encyclopaedic' presentation of Hegel's thought that Hegel
should have collected himself instead of the Encyclopaedia
that he actually wrote." Terry Pinkard, Georgetown
University
