description: A sweeping investigation of how knowledge is obtained by means of absolute truth, including how the spirit reveals itself as absolute reality, The Phenomenology of Mind is an intellectual tour-de-force &amp; represents a great philosophical work for the ages. Originally published in English in 1910, Hegel proffers his unique viewpoint that knowledge is not separated from, nor outside of, absolute reality--but that knowledge is itself reality, &amp; posits that reality is mental &amp; spiritual. Volume 2 includes: [The Nature of] Free Concrete Mind: Spirit. Religion in General. Absolute Knowledge. German philosopher GEORG WILHELM FRIEDRICH HEGEL (1770-1831) was born in Stuttgart &amp; studied at Tübingen, where his contemporaries included Schelling and the poet Hölderlin. As a philosophical disciple of Kant, Hegel was of the Idealist School of philosophers &amp; remained an unparalleled influence on German philosophy throughout the 19th-century. Additional works by Hegel's include: The Objective Logic (1812-13), The Subjective Logic (1816), Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciencies in Outline (1817) &amp; Philosophy of Right (1821).
