DOC Race and Science: Scientific Challenges to Racism in Modern America by Paul Farber; Hamilton Cravens in History

Description

. . . eminently readable . . . admirably picks up the spirit of what Hegel is saying. . . . more readable and accurate than Hartmann's; and it trans­lates a more readable text than does Nisbet's. It includes (as Hartmann's does not) an excerpt; which serves as chapter five; from 'The Geo­graphical Basis of History' (particularly interesting for what it says of America); and a brief chapter six; entitled 'The Division of History.' The volume closes with an appendix; translating §§341–360 of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right and deals directly with the very concept of 'World History.' It constitutes a big help in coming to grips with what Hegel means by 'Spirit.' --Quentin Lauer; SJ; Fordham University; in International Philosophical Quarterly
