Hegel's Concept of Experience: With a Section from Hegels Phenomenology of Spirit in the Kenley Royce Dove Translation

Martin Heidegger

This is an intense work. Hegel's famous Phenomenology of Spirit has an Introduction written after the book was completed that Heidegger claims summarizes the substance of the work. So this is MH's careful elucidation of that Introduction. Yes, MH does employ some of his own unique vocabulary to explain what he believes Hegel intends. However, Hegel does not write for the novice. Consequently, the combination of both of their explanations adds up to a mouthful.

At the same time, should you be interested in the best available (IMHO) philosophical analysis of "consciousness," you will find it here. Compared to the 600 pages of the Hegel and the 600 pages of MH's Being and Time, the 125 pages of this MH commentary on Hegel is a breeze. And while it will not replace reading those two masterworks, if you plod through the intense, yet lucid, arguments offered by these two in this single volume, the result can well prove the effort worthwhile.
