Seminar on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit II

3 credits · Undergraduate

The Phenomenology of Spirit, published in 1807, was Hegel's first major work.

To achieve this he had to write the Phenomenology as an introduction to his own philosophy. CALENDAR NOTES: This course is the first part of the former full-year course GERM 4200.06.
