A very nice inexpensive edition of the German text of Hegel's classic, Aug 18 2007
By Nathan Andersen "film lover, philosophy profe... - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Phenomenologie Des Geistes (Paperback)
Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit" is easily one of the most important philosophical books ever written. If you study it for a while (and it takes quite a while to get more than a superficial grasp of what is going on in this dense but remarkable text), you will eventually want to work on the original German. The version put out by Philosophische Bibliothek is a small, handy volume that is inexpensive and not too hard to get hold of. It has a fairly decent index, and a fairly extensive bibliography of some of the more important scholarship on the book in the past several decades. While the paragraphs are not numbered, the paragraphs do match the numbering in Miller's translation of the Phenomenology, and it just takes a few (very worthwhile) hours to number the paragraphs in this version so that they can be correlated and compared with the most well-known English translation. An essential book for graduate students in philosophy and others who have a more than casual interest in one of the four most important philosophers (at least to my mind: Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel form a pantheon).

Horrible for academic purposes, even if its cultural value is high, Jan 10 2011

This review is from: Phnomenologie Des Geistes (Paperback)
To be clear I'm reviewing this version of Phänomenologie des Geistes not based on its value as philosophy, or as key piece of the canon, or even what I personally think of it. I'm reviewing it poorly based solely on its utility as an academic resource. German is not my first language, but I'm fairly fluent in it having spoken or read it pretty frequently in the 13 years since I started learning the language. I bought this version of the original German in order to read it alongside Miller's English translation and get a better handle on the nuances the Phenomenology has in the original German. What I didn't realize was that the typeface would also be the original archaic and difficult to decipher script used in the nineteenth century (to be fair apparently into the early twentieth as well). I eagerly opened the package when it arrived, excited to being doing some more in depth translation work but found that it was difficult, sometimes impossible, to decipher what some of the characters were. I was spending more time figuring out what a given character was than I was thinking about the different ways one might translate the German into English. That is, if I could even figure out what the word was in German to begin with.I'd probably give the Phenomenology of Spirit itself(in whatever translation or edition) a five star review. Or if I was a bibliophile, or book historian interested in shifts in print techniques, or varying other discipline I might rate this specific edition highly. But for the purposes of a native English speaking, German as second language, philosophy student I need to have a text that is legible and easy to read (preferably in plain and standard modern typefaces) so that I can actually do work with the text rather than wasting time trying to figure out if that's an "s", an "l", or an "f" in the word.
For collectors/bibliophiles or those who want the closest version to what the Phenomenology looked like when it was first printed this is likely an excellent choice. For students or other academics who want something that's easy to work with for a paper/article/thesis/dissertation then you should probably look for a different German edition of Phenomenology of Spirit.

Terrible edition, Oct 19 2011
By Andreas - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Phnomenologie Des Geistes (Paperback)
The terrible quality of the edition of a great philosophical work (Die Phaenomenologie des Geistes)I've purchased is beyond belief. It is a bad photocopy of a 1923 edition barely legible. I thought that Amazon would have some quality control mechanism in place. Obvioisly I was wrong.
