HEGEL, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

System der Wissenschaft. Erster Theil, die Phänomenologie des Geistes. First edition, first issue, of Hegel's first great work, "perhaps the most brilliant and difficult" of all his books (Ency. Brit.). The half-title leaf A1 gives an incorrect title for the first part: in later issues this was corrected. The Phänomenologie des Geistes, generally known in English as the Phenomenology of Spirit, traces the rise of the human mind from mere consciousness to absolute knowledge.
