Critics Review
’ … the scholarship on which the book is based is first-rate and the presentation is genuinely philosophical … the book is an important one, and one any serious advanced student of German Idealism will have to read.’ Professor Raymond Geuss, Columbia University ‘In the history of Hegel interpretation this will (I hope) prove to be a very influential book. it should forever put paid to the myth of Hegel’s speculative philosophy as a direct return to the high rationalist tradition which Kant condemned as ‘dogmatic’ … This achievement makes Pippin’s book a major event in the story of our effort to understand Hegel.’ Professor H. S. Harris, York University, Toronto
