<p>As an introduction to his own notoriously complex and challenging philosophy, Hegel recommended the sections on phenomenology and psychology from <em>The Philosophy of Spirit</em>, the third part of his <em>Encyclopaedia of the Philosophic Sciences</em>. These offered the best introduction to his philosophic system, whose main parts are Logic, Nature, and Sprit.</p><p><em>Hegel’s Introduction to the System</em> finally makes it possible for the modern reader to approach the philosopher’s work as he himself suggested. The book includes a fresh translation of “Phenomenology” and “Psychology,” an extensive section-by-section commentary, and a sketch of the system to which this work is an introduction. The book provides a lucid and elegant analysis that will be of use to both new and seasoned readers of Hegel.</p>
