(3,524 Sterne; 21 Bewertungen)

Phänomenologie des Geistes (1807) is Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's most important and widely discussed philosophical work. Hegel's first book, it describes the three-stage dialectical life of Spirit. The title can be translated as either The Phenomenology of Spirit or The Phenomenology of Mind, because the German word Geist has both meanings.
Phenomenology was the basis of Hegel's later philosophy and marked a significant development in German idealism after Kant. Focusing on topics in metaphysics, epistemology, physics, ethics, history, religion, perception, consciousness, and political philosophy, The Phenomenology is where Hegel develops his concepts of dialectic (including the Master-slave dialectic), absolute idealism, ethical life, and Aufhebung. The book had a profound effect in Western philosophy, and "has been praised and blamed for the development of existentialism, communism, fascism, death of God theology, and historicist nihilism." - Summary by Wikipedia (13 hr 12 min)

narrator Maurice is pure mumble—someone else needs to re-record, this version creates negative value

(2,5 Sterne)

I think the person reads well but a bit too fast for so important a subject. The rabbit speed is not adjustable on my iPhone 8. Is there a way to slow the speed? Thank you

too fast.

the reader seems like they're in a time trial. you hardly have a moment to absorb one sentence before the next starts.

I could slow down the text on iPhone 10 (tortoise hair icon)Just appreciative volunteers made this available to me.

The book is great but i can not listen to this narrator's voice.
