""Hegel on Self-Consciousness" is the best treatment of the subject in English, French, or German--it is also clear, short, and to the point. It will very likely serve as a basic text in a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses. Pippin is one of the most widely read philosophers of our time."--Terry P. Pinkard, Georgetown University
"Pippin is one of the leading Hegel interpreters working today. Readers interested in Hegel--be they philosophers, literary theorists, or intellectual historians--will greatly benefit from this book. Pippin's insight into Hegel's philosophy is highly impressive, and the depth of his thought is evident in his analysis of the connection Hegel discovers between desire and self-consciousness."--Sally Sedgwick, University of Illinois, Chicago
