The Phenomenology of Spirit by G.W.F. Hegel


Primary Sources:

1) Hegel, G.W.F. Phenomenology of Spirit. Trans. A.V. Miller. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1977. Print.


2) Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich. "Hegel's Philosophy of Mind." Project Gutenberg. Clarendon Press, 2012. Web.


Note: We usually try and list several translations of a primary work in case people want to compare and contrast.  However, in the case of Hegel's "Phenomenology," the Miller translation has become the translation par excellence in academia.  So, we only list  that along with a free version supplied by Project Gutenberg.

Secondary Sources:

Books:

1) Priest, Stephen., ed. Hegel's Critique of Kant. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1987. Print.


Note: This book is an anthology.  Though all of the essays contained therein are not exclusively about Hegel's "Phenomenology," they are all relevant to it.

**This is an old article (1958) but is useful to overcome the reduction of Hegel's thought to the often cited thesis, antithesis, synthesis schematism.  It explains Hegel's method of dialectic which Hegel uses in the "Phenomenology."

***This is also an older article.  It examines some of the arguments for and against  Hegel's "Phenomenology" as transcendental philosophy.

Video:

1) Dr. Sadler goes through the "Phenomenology of Spirit," section by section, offering a thorough analysis of the material.  This is a major contribution to the philosophical community.  Anyone interested in doing research on Hegel should take advantage of these videos.

***Click here to go to Dr. Sadler's blog where his full lecture series on the "Phenomenology of Spirit" can be found



2) Dr. Sadler also gives a single lecture on Hegel's "Phenomenology."  Obviously, this will not be as in depth as the previous ones.  However, they provide a sufficient introduction to the "Phenomenology."
