Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Basic Outline, Part 1, Science of Logic (Cambridge Hegel Translations)

Very good translation of this masterpiece of Hegel’s

Absolutely exquisite copy. Shipped in perfect form. If need be, will purchase again. Seller 10/10.

The newest and best academic version.

The introductory essay by Brinkmann and Dahlstrom may be alone worth the price of this volume. Their introduction gives a superbly clear and reasonable overview of Hegel's entire philosophical project. This new Cambridge translation along with the new translation of the larger Logic by Di Giovanni mark a turning point in Anglophone Hegel scholarship. Good riddence to the mid-20th-century biases, fears, and confusions wrought by Karl Popper and Bertrand Russell upon the (mis)understanding of Hegel in the English-speaking world. This book reflects a more enlightened and sober assessment of Hegel's work that has been emerging in the recent Anglophone Hegel renaissance, for which other contemporary Hegel scholars like Houlgate, Pippin, Pinkard, and Brandom also deserve credit.

I'm an expert in neither Hegel's thought nor the German language, but this edition is certainly easy to read compared to other Hegel translations I've encountered. Only problem is the cover. I HATE philosophy book covers that are just pictures of the philosopher's ugly mug, and the image here is probably the very ugliest surviving picture of the ugliest philosopher since Socrates. At least it's a direct depiction of him and not a kitschy idealized portrait by someone who lived centuries after his work. This is a trifling complaint, as thankfully no-one uses Hegel as a reference for cosmetology or graphic design. It's unfortunate, though, that this seemingly-good translation can't be bound in the elegantly simple covers of, for example, the Hackett series or the Miller translation of the Phenomenology.

まだ、全体を精査して居りませんが、標記の通りの感想を懐きました。 オックスフォードの ”Hegel’s Logic" と同じく、Mass (マース。ｓｓ と書きました所は、エス・ツェット。限度量＝カタストロフィー集合内のコントローラー要因の値）を、limitation(-quantity) とかではなく、measure と訳してあり、全く分かりにくいです。英語国民の読者諸賢も、意味が良く分からないでしょう。ヘーゲルの最高傑作ですのに、こういう訳書のせいで、世界的に一大普及しないのが、非常に残念です。

With hardly any use the spine has cracked. For a hardback book that cost £61.65 this is unacceptable. UPDATE: Superb customer service from Amazon who sent a replacement within 2 days of my complaint. Hence 5* rather than the initial 1*. Also, the book itself is superb.

The book itself is fine in terms of content, but it's another one of those "printed by Amazon" editions and the pages have the same blue tint that is terribly annoying. What kind of paper is this? Why isn't it white?

Printed by Amazon Fulfillment - need I say more? But seriously, shame on Cambridge for this money-grab. This book has a lot of additional subtext in a smaller font which is not printed at a quality level that would lend itself to actually being read.
