Review: Brilliant introduction to Hegel! - I'm taking a philosophy class at the university, and we're covering major western philosophers, and I urgently needed a quick introduction to some of them. Peter Singer does a marvelous job introducing Hegel, one of those philosophers that most find it really difficult to understand. Singer really empathizes with the target audience of the book. He puts himself in the shoes of a reader, completely unfamiliar with Hegel's thought and who wants a quick introduction to his major philosophical ideas. This book is a quick guided journey through the monumental museum of complex ideas of one of the most influential minds of western philosophy. It is truly a joy to visit every room of that museum at the hands of such a knowledgeable and wonderful teacher as Peter Singer. This is indeed the starting point for anyone looking to get a general understanding of Hegel in as short a time as possible.
Review: No as simplified as expected - There are certainly better ways of understanding Hegel than this, but I did get some points out of this compared other sources. I have little against Peter Singer's utilitarianism and animal ethics, but I find his atheism to be quite disingenuous or insincere. How can an avowed atheist write a good book about one of the most theistic philosophers and call him great? Something is amiss here.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant introduction to Hegel!
*by E***O on July 20, 2021*

I'm taking a philosophy class at the university, and we're covering major western philosophers, and I urgently needed a quick introduction to some of them. Peter Singer does a marvelous job introducing Hegel, one of those philosophers that most find it really difficult to understand. Singer really empathizes with the target audience of the book. He puts himself in the shoes of a reader, completely unfamiliar with Hegel's thought and who wants a quick introduction to his major philosophical ideas. This book is a quick guided journey through the monumental museum of complex ideas of one of the most influential minds of western philosophy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect introduction to Hegel.
*by S***T on March 26, 2011*

I read Marx. He went on about Hegel. I knew nothing about Hegel so, I wanted a thumbnail of Hegel's ideas. I can't speak to the accuracy of Dr. Singer's work, but this book was VERY well written. He is a great writer- having made Hegel's obscure work quite understandable. Dr. Singer speaks TO the uninitiated student of philosophy without speaking DOWN to him. I liked how Dr. Singer showed the connections between Hegel, his influences, his detractors and his students. I also liked how he thoroughly explained difficult concepts - again, without talking DOWN to the reader. You want an introduction to Hegel? Look no further. This is the book for you.
