Zusatztext "Pippin's overall interpretation is clear! insightful! and an important contribution to both Hegel scholarship and philosophical understandings of self-consciousness in general. It will be an important book for those interested in Hegel or self-consciousness." ---Joseph Arel! European Legacy Informationen zum Autor Robert B. Pippin is the Evelyn Stefansson Nef Distinguished Service Professor in the John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought and in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. His books include Hegel's Practical Philosophy: Rational Agency as Ethical Life and Henry James and Modern Moral Life . Klappentext " Hegel on Self-Consciousness is the best treatment of the subject in English, French, or German--it is also clear, short, and to the point. It will very likely serve as a basic text in a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses. Pippin is one of the most widely read philosophers of our time." --Terry P. Pinkard, Georgetown University "Pippin is one of the leading Hegel interpreters working today. Readers interested in Hegel--be they philosophers, literary theorists, or intellectual historians--will greatly benefit from this book. Pippin's insight into Hegel's philosophy is highly impressive, and the depth of his thought is evident in his analysis of the connection Hegel discovers between desire and self-consciousness." --Sally Sedgwick, University of Illinois, Chicago Zusammenfassung In the most influential chapter of his most important philosophical work, the "Phenomenology of Spirit", Hegel makes the central and disarming assertions that 'self-consciousness is desire itself' and that it attains its 'satisfaction' only in another self-consciousness. This book presents a fresh interpretation of these revolutionary claims.
