This review is from: A Reading of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit (Paperback)

Quentin Lauer is one of the best writers on Hegel. Read his other books too. Especially the "Essays in Hegelian Dialectic" among others.

Hegel is difficult to understand at first, Mr. Lauer makes the task a bit easier. Although more introductory materials may be needed for most readers before this one is read.
