Description

Book Synopsis
Explores the meaning of Hegel's philosophical category, the category of Geist. This title argues that Hegel's development of philosophy as pneumatology originates out of an appreciation of Luther's dialectical understanding of Spirit and that Hegel's doctrine of Spirit is thus interfused with the values of Wrttemberg Pietism.

Trade Review
"In this well-written and handsomely printed volume the author claims that Hegel's philosophy should be considered a speculative pneumatology. He backs up this claim by arguing both for the religious rootage of Hegel's philosophy of spirit and for a major influence on that philosophy by the German poet Holderlin."--International Journal for Philosophy of Religion
