Terry Pinkard is Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University, Washington, DC. He has published numerous books on German philosophy and on Hegel in particular, including Hegel's Phenomenology: The Sociality of Reason (Cambridge, 1994), Hegel: A Biography (Cambridge, 2000), and German Philosophy 1760-1860: The Legacy of Idealism (Cambridge, 2002).
'Pinkard provides an admirably clear statement of his position on translating it, and his stated aim of rendering the text as clearly as possible without letting his interpretation of Hegel's philosophical positions form the terms of translation is well realized ... He also provides a trusty overview of the Phenomenology's main themes and a lively account of the history of its production.'
