Description
Glenn Alexander Magee’s The Hegel Dictionary is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the key concepts, terminology, and philosophical ideas in the work of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, one of the most complex and influential thinkers in Western philosophy. The book systematically defines and explains Hegel’s dense and intricate vocabulary, including crucial terms such as Being, Essence, Concept, Spirit (Geist), Dialectic, Sublation (Aufhebung), Absolute Knowing, Recognition, and Freedom. Magee provides clear explanations of Hegel’s major works, such as The Phenomenology of Spirit, The Science of Logic, The Philosophy of Right, and his Lectures on Aesthetics, Religion, and History. The dictionary also situates Hegel’s thought within the broader context of German Idealism and explores his influence on later philosophical movements such as Marxism, existentialism, and critical theory. By breaking down Hegel’s notoriously difficult language, Magee offers an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Hegel’s profound and systematic vision of reality, knowledge, and history.
