This hardcover edition of Hegel’s landmark work of philosophy contains the authoritative and respected translation of J.B. Baillie. The Phenomenology of Spirit, also known as The Phenomenology of Mind, contains methodical discussions of Hegelian examination of mind and mental functioning. In Hegelianist philosophy, the notion of the spirit or mind commences with a consideration of the subjective (i.e. individual) mind. After some contemplation however, it is realised that this ‘individual’ sort of mind is but the initial stage of the process – the so-called ‘in-itself stage’. The stage which follows this is that of the objective mind – it is this type of mind that finds itself object of law, morals and government. This frames the condition of the mind when it is out-of-itself. The final stage of the Hegelianist posit upon the mind is that of the ‘absolute mind’. At this point, the mind ascends above the constraints of the natural world and of mankind’s institutions and laws.
