This book presents a fresh interpretation of these revolutionary claims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Pippin, one of the finest contemporary scholars on Kant and post-Kantian German idealism, presents here two essays that focus on two of Hegel's claims--that self-consciousness is desire itself, and that it finds its satisfaction only in others... Pippin's essays provide a skillful interpretation of one of the most important parts of Hegel's corpus, and illuminate Phenomenology of Spirit as well as historical and contemporary interpretations of Hegel's account of self-consciousness.\"--Choice \"This book should appeal to readers interested in the Phenomenology of Spirit, especially graduate students and researches who wish to understand the contemporary significance of Hegel's account of self-consciousness for McDowell and Brandom. Pippin has provided a lucid reading of these very dense passages. Regardless of whether one agrees with Pippin's reading, it will prove difficult for Hegel scholars to ignore.\"--Corey McCall, Philosophy in Review \"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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments vii Introductory Remarks 1 Chapter One: On Hegel's Claim That Self-Consciousness Is \"Desire Itself\" (Begierde uberhaupt) 6 Chapter Two: On Hegel's Claim That \"Self-Consciousness Finds Its Satisfaction Only in Another Self-Consciousness\" 54 Concluding Remarks 88 Index 99","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403780104535,"sku":"9780691148519","price":38.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hegel-on-selfconsciousness-9780691148519","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
