"Mind"-blowing!

If you plan to read Hegel, you should make sure you don't get confused about which of his works you are actually going to read when you search for his "Philosophy of Mind". This review concerns the third of his three-volume Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences. The other book so

For months now I have been trying to make sense of this writing. I've read passages to my wife to see if I was just making it more difficult than it is. But, I'm afraid, that to me, Hegel is indecipherable. I don't have the mental capacity to wrap my mind around what he is trying to say. He writes l
