Hegel and the Spirit by Alan M Olson
This text explores the meaning of Hegel's grand philosophical category, the category of Geist, by way of what Olson terms a pneumatological thesis. He argues that Hegel's development of philosophy as pneumatology originates out of an appreciation of Luther's dialectical understanding of spirit.
"In this well-written and handsomely printed volume the author claims that Hegel's philosophy should be considered a speculative pneumatologyHe backs up this claim by arguing both for the religious rootage of Hegel's philosophy of spirit and for a major influence on that philosophy by the German poet Hölderlin." * International Journal for Philosophy of Religion *
