This book focuses on the interpretations of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit that have proved influential over the past decades. Current readers of Hegel’s Phenomenology face an abundance of interpretive literature devoted to this difficult text and confront a plethora of different philosophical presuppositions, research strategies and hermeneutic efforts.

To enable a better orientation within the interpretative landscape, the essays in this volume summarize, contextualize and critically comment on the issues and currents in contemporary Phenomenology scholarship. There is a common set of three questions that each of the contributions seeks to answer: (1) What kind of text is The Phenomenology of Spirit? (2) What do the different strategies of interpretation conceptually bring to the text? (3) How do different interpreters justify their verdict on whether the Phenomenology is still a viable project?

Reviews for Interpreting Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit: Expositions and Critique of Contemporary Readings

The editors of this volume have collected fourteen meta-readings of Hegel's Phenomenology, that is, discussions of different strategies for interpreting this central Hegelian text. The volume contains excellent, critical discussions, for example, of the Heideggean account of the opening and method of the work, Marxian treatments of the master-slave dialectic, pragmatist or Sellarsian readings of Hegel on Antigone, and on the relation of consciousness to its object. The reader is introduced to a diversity of voices representing a wide range of philosophical traditions; and the diversity of those voices conveys an impression of how Hegel is being read today by philosophers all over the globe. -- Sally Sedgwick, Department of Philosophy, Boston University, USA.
