Review of the hardback: '… the Phenomenology demands and indeed has elicited thoughtful interlocutors who must combine Hegel's own qualities - at once philosophically rigorous and focused, and also imaginative and comprehensive. The twelve contributors to Moyar and Quante's excellent volume are readers of just this variety. They wrestle with small portions of Hegel's challenging text and show how Hegel's insights can help advance and even transform our thinking about traditional philosophical problems … this volume is a considerable contribution to the ever-growing literature on Hegel's Phenomenology.'
