Taylor's major and comprehensive study of the philosophy of Hegel, his place in the history of ideas, and his continuing relevance and importance. Taylor relates Hegel to the earlier history of philosophy and, more particularly, to the central intellectual and spiritual issues of his own time. He engages with Hegel sympathetically, on Hegel's own terms and, as the subject demands, in detail. One of "the" books on Hegel.
