i GOT THE BOOK ON TIME.. IT IS IN GOOD SHAPE.. HAVEN'D READ IT YET!

A Good Entry Point

Hegel is, by reputation, notoriously difficult to read. Many people also misrepresent his views. I am no Hegel expert, but I felt that this book was a very readable introduction to Hegel's thought. And I think the premise of this book (that it is best to start with a shallow but broad selection than to jump into a core text) is indeed valid.
