Hegel: Denkgeschichte eines Lebendigen [Book Review]
Abstract
More a biography of the man and his times than a doctrinal study, this impressive volume presents a lively portrait of Hegel and an argument for his contemporary relevance. Prof. Müller sets out to explode the "myths" about Hegel's personality and philosophical achievement. The first part of his program succeeds admirably. By including many letters to friends, love-letters, poems and private papers, he builds up the picture of an interesting and attractive personality. A second volume on Hegel's philosophical significance is promised.--D. D. O.
