An easy-to-digest introduction the “science of the experience of consciousness” as the German Idealist philosopher GEORG WILHELM FRIEDRICH HEGEL (1770–1831) understood it, this condensed version of Hegel’s The Phenomenology of Spirit—which the author created himself for his Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences—explores Hegel’s take on: • what mind is • the sensibility of the “physical soul” • the immediacy of the “feeling soul” • consciousness and the intellect • the theoretical mind • memory, intuition, and imagination • the morality of conscience • moral life, or social ethics • revealed religion in the “absolute mind” • and much more. This 1894 translation of the 1827–1830 German original, by Scottish philosopher and Oxford University professor WILLIAM WALLACE (1843–1897), remains a favorite of Hegel students, and is celebrated for its style and eloquence.
