announcement of new introductory hegel book for students

[aakash singh]

Dear Colleagues,
οΏ½
I would like to announce the publication of a new introductory volume on G.W.F. Hegel, Reading Hegel: The Introductions (melbourne: re-press, 2008).
οΏ½
Bringing together for the first time all ofοΏ½HegelοΏ½s major Introductions in one place, the book ambitiously attempts to present readers with HegelοΏ½s systematic thought through his Introductions alone.οΏ½While each of HegelοΏ½s Introductions can stand alone, capturing a facet of his overarching idea of truth,οΏ½compiledοΏ½together, theyοΏ½lay out the intricate tapestry of HegelοΏ½s thought, woven with a dialectic that progresses from one book to another, one philosophical moment to another.
οΏ½
I do not think of the Philos list as an advertising platform. But what I did think it fit to inform the community about was a certain unique aspect of this publication, about which I am rather proud: the not-for-profit publisher, re-press (a pioneerοΏ½ofοΏ½continental philosophy in the anglophone world)οΏ½is providing the entire bookοΏ½as OPEN ACCESS, which is to say that itοΏ½can be downloaded by anyone free of chargeοΏ½in pdf version. Obviously, it can also be purchased as a traditional printed book (in soft cover).

Best,
