5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most important books in western philosophy, 19 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Hegel's Phenomenology is probably the most influential book in modern philosophy. The influence is very strong in the more contemporary thinkers such as Marx, Heidegger, Sartre, Lacan, Marcuse, Habermas, and more. The book has been very important in the schools of philosophy that deal with historisization and phenomenology. Hegel was not a poor writer; actually his writing (in German) was very eloquent and clear, taking full advantage of the rich, complex German language. Unfortunatly much of his writings have been poorly translated, but this is not a suprise. The topics which Hegel takes up in the Phenomenology are very complex and the whole book is based on the Hegelian dialectic, which has been misrepresented becuase of its complexity and that it has been accused as being a tract of Nazism and Stalism, wehich are absolutely false (look at Marcuse's Reason and Revolution). People who cannot understand the Phenomenology immediately accuse Hegel of being a poor writer, but that is a cop out becuse they think that whatever they can't understanding must be the result of bad writing. Those individuals who think that Hegel was a poor writer are simply poor thinkers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Consider the heigths and depths of books in print, 2 Jul 1997
By A Customer
It is easy to dismiss a book because it is 'difficult'. Hegel's Phenomenology is indeed difficult. But how could it be otherwise? It is designed to invert a pattern of thought that has been in place for more than 2000 years. The best minds of our age--Marx, Heidegger, Kojeve--have wrestled with it. No one has yet pinned it down. That is a challenge worth facing, like Everest, because it is there.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book that illustrate Hegelian Dialectic..., 6 Aug 1998
By A Customer
The central theme of this book is about the spirit. According to Hegel, all the man has to struggle within themselves. In all of the human mind, there are two dialectically opposing spirit: the subjective spirit and objective spirit. In this book Hegel show us how we can overcome a struggle and come up with the absolute spirit.. So basically speaking, this book is the most authorative book on Hegelian Dialectic..
