Abstract

Harris finds the spirit of Hegel in his systematic thinking unified by dialectical logic, his uncompromising realism, and his powerful responses to the dilemmas of modernity in his time and ours. Writing from a lifetime of knowledge and obvious erudition about the history of philosophy, recurring central questions of philosophy, and modern science over the past few centuries, Harris seeks to revive interest in Hegel's philosophical thought and to indicate its relevance to the present.
