History and System by Robert L Perkins

Reflecting the best of Hegelian scholarship, the papers here focus on the sources of Hegel's philosophy of history, its internal structure and relation to other parts of his system, analyses of specific aspects of his philosophy of history, and its influence on subsequent thinkers. In its breadth and depth, the volume attests to the continued and growing importance of Hegel's thought for contemporary philosophy.

"A collection of this sort is a major achievement and that it is possible testifies to the quality of people involved with Hegel

"History and System begins with a brilliant essay on the senses in which Hegel must be read as poetry. It ends with a prizewinning essay by Richard Winfield on Hegel's economic theory, an essay likely to provoke considerable controversy. In between are major essays by David Walsh, Schlomo Avineri, Merold Westphal, Walter Jaeschke, Winfield again, Rolf Ahlers, William Desmond, and George di Giovanni. Each of the major essays save for the first and last have a long critical review; the critics are often as good as the essayists." — Robert C. Neville

Robert L. Perkins is Professor of Philosophy at the University of South Alabama and an editor of several journals of philosophy and religion.
