●“This book of Hegelian selections by Professor Weiss is …very valuable. The passages incorporated are quite excellently chosen. Professor Weiss has included a long excerpt from the introductory chapters of the Encyclopedia, which are Hegel’s own, most successful attempt to introduce his system. ●He has also included some colorful sections from the Phenomenology, some weighty sections from the Science of Logic, as also the magnificently revealing paragraphs on the Absolute Idea at the end of ‘Logic’ in the Encyclopedia. There are also good excerpts from the Philosophy of Nature and the Philosophy of Right. And, since the translations are good, a great deal of the difficult, self-revisionary thought of Hegel comes across, helped on by Professor Weiss’s own valuable comments….I should reply without hesitation, after fifty years of steady work on Hegel, that his is beyond doubt a supreme thought-treasure, and one that is always yielding new and surprising thought-dividends.”
