Georg W.F. Hegel, Phenomenology of Spirit, Introduction - Introduction to Philosophy

In this lecture/discussion session we tackle the Introduction to a very challenging philosophical work, Georg William Friedrich Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. This recording is from from my Spring 2013 Introduction to Philosophy class at Marist College. I lead the students through several of the basic themes discussed in this very dense but short section of Hegel’s masterwork, introducing them to some of the key ideas of Hegel’s dialectical philosophy.
