Synopsis In this biography, Pinkard tries to eliminate much of the mystique of misunderstanding that has surrounded Hegel, a notoriously tenacious thinker of the Modern period, by linking cultural context to the development of his thought.

Industry Reviews "[T]hose in search of eminently fairminded, careful, and reliable small-scale 'readings' of Hegel's main books need look no farther....By now it is clear that Terry Pinkard offers the most rounded, richly filled-out picture of Hegel, as both philosopher and man, that we have ever had in English. This will quickly become the standard biography of Hegel, and richly deserves to do so. In an age of fine Hegel scholarship, this is a towering achievement." Riley
"[A] 780-page labour of love, the fullest and undoubtedly the best ever account of Hegel's life in the English language." Malcolm
"[I]n its plain and businesslike way, this is the most rounded and reliable life of Hegel there has ever been." London Review of Books - Jonathan Ree (11/30/2000)
"Pinkard adds a great deal to the usual conception of Hegel derived from the brief biographical notes that precede the main content of books about him or are to be found in the histories of philosophy in which he figures." New York Review of Books - Anthony Quinton (06/21/2001)
