Hegel: A Re-Examination

In Hegel: A Re-examination, J. N. Findlay gives a brief but well-rounded account of Hegel's philosophical doctrines and relates them to the ideas and language of Hegel's own time.

Utilizing quotations from Hegel himself, Findlay clears up many misconceptions about Hegel's philosophy and aids the reader to see again (or for the first time) the workings of a great mind. --- from book's back cover
