Few thinkers are more controversial in the history of philosophy than Hegel. He has been dismissed as a charlatan and obscurantist, but also praised as one of the greatest thinkers in modern philosophy. No one interested in philosophy can afford to ignore him. This volume considers all the major aspects of Hegel's work: epistemology, logic, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy of history, philosophy of religion. Special attention is devoted to problems in the interpretation of Hegel: the unity of the Phenomenology of Spirit; the value of the dialectical method; the status of his logic; the nature of his politics. A final group of chapters treats Hegel's complex historical legacy: the development of Hegelianism and its growth into a left and right wing school; the relation of Hegel and Marx; and the subtle connections between Hegel and contemporary analytic philosophy.

A brief overview,

This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to Hegel (Paperback)
Hegel is a complex thinker, very relevant to modern political and sociological ideas. This is a valuable but quite demanding critical and evaluative account of his ideas, by various contributors, all of high quality. The study really does require an accompanying Hegel reader to enable you to locate the arguments properly in Hegel's own work. It's also better if you have read a good introductory text first, though the Wikipedia account is probably a good enough start. It's particularly well written, marked by clarity and good organisation of the ideas.
