H. S. Harris is Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, Glendon College, York University.

This is an incredibly rich and provocative book for such a slim volume, and it will no doubt become a standard accompaniment to many classes on the Phenomenology , a kind of short, lucid skeleton key to the whole book.--Terry Pinkard, Georgetown University

Out of his magisterial scholarship Harris gives us three gifts in a surprisingly small package. First there is a lucid account of what Hegel's philosophical goal is. Then there is a running summary of the Phenomenology . . . . Finally, we get a concise account of what it all means, Harris's view of the interrelationships and relative significance of the various parts of the system. --Merold Westphal, Fordham University
