The Hegel Reader by Stephen Houlgate, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

tarshly's review

I don't think I can really give a rating to this book. Hegel is one of the hardest philosophers I have ever personally read (and if you ask a lot of people's opinions, I'm sure it's going to be the same). I thought his arguments were interesting (we are all god, we must recognize each other's subjectivity and our own limits in order to live successfully, infinity exists at every point - even on the tip of your finger, etc), but very difficult to grasp. And honestly, I had a hard time even pulling those ideas out of the reading, I truly didn't understand without the help of outside sources.
On top of that, I don't think I can rate this book because I did not read it in its entirety.
