. . . eminently readable . . . admirably picks up the spirit of
what Hegel is saying. . . . more readable and accurate than
Hartmann's, and it trans_lates a more readable text than does
Nisbet's. It includes (as Hartmann's does not) an excerpt, which
serves as chapter five, from 'The Geo_graphical Basis of History'
(particularly interesting for what it says of America), and a brief
chapter six, entitled 'The Division of History.' The volume closes
with an appendix, translating 341-360 of Hegel's Philosophy of
Right and deals directly with the very concept of 'World History.'
It constitutes a big help in coming to grips with what Hegel means
by 'Spirit.' --Quentin Lauer, SJ, Fordham University, in
International Philosophical Quarterly
