Introducing Hegel : A Graphic Guide

INTRODUCING guide to the hugely influential German thinker. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel is one of the greatest thinkers of all time. No other philosopher has had such a profound impact on the ideas and political events of the 20th century. Hegel''s influential writings on philosophy politics history and art are parts of a larger systematic whole. They are also among the most difficult in the entire literature of philosophy. Introducing Hegel guides us through a spectacular system of thought which aimed to make sense of history. The book also provides new perspectives on contemporary postmodern debates about ''metanarratives'' (Lyotard) and the ''end of history'' (Fukuyama). It is an ideal introduction to this crucial figure in the history of philosophy and is indispensable for anyone trying to understand such key modern thinkers as Marx Lacan Satre and Adorno.
