Robert B. Pippin is the Evelyn Stefansson Nef Distinguished Service Professor in the John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought, the Department of Philosophy, and the College at the University of Chicago. He is the author of many books on philosophy, literature, art, and film.
"If the productivity of a volume is measured by the issues it
raises, this is doubtless the case with the thought-provoking
contribution of Pippin, which will be an inescapable reference for
all future readings of the Science of Logic, no matter their
metaphysical commitment."--Giulia Bernard, Universit� degli Studi
di Padova - Ruhr-Universit�t Bochum "UNIVERSA. Recensioni di
filosofia"
"Impressive. . . . What is beyond doubt is that Pippin's new book
is one of the most important works on Hegel's Logic in any language
and deserves to be studied closely by scholars and students
worldwide."--Stephen Houlgate "Journal of the History of
Philosophy"
"Since the publication of his Hegel's Idealism thirty years ago,
Pippin has offered one of the clearest and most insightful (though
always controversial) interpretations of Hegel'sphilosophical
project, one that places him intelligibly within the post-Kantian
context but also gives him a contemporary voice. This book
represents Pippin's most sustained engagement with The Science of
Logic, a text that has remained at the center of his interpretation
from the outset.. . . The book develops Pippin's earlier views in
interesting ways, without departing from them substantially. It may
surprise some that he asks that we see his Hegel's metaphysics as
just as Aristotelian as it is Kantian. Moreover, Pippin repudiates
his earlier characterization of Hegel as a 'conceptual scheme
idealist.' The book will doubtless attract (and deserves) critical
attention, but it is a valuable contribution to a belated reception
of Hegel's Logic."--W. Clar Wolf "Review of Metaphysics"
"With Hegel's Realm of Shadows, Pippin not only makes another
invaluable contribution to Hegel scholarship; he changes the
world--if only a little bit--by helping us to understand how we
ought to understand ourselves."--Jensen Suther "Radical
Philosophy"
"This wonderfully clear and exciting book of philosophy is the best
book ever written on Hegel's Logic in any language I know."--Terry
Pinkard, Georgetown University
"To his numerous and enormously influential studies of important
aspects of Hegel's philosophy, Pippin adds another work that is
bound to shape our understanding of what for Hegel forms the heart
of his philosophy, namely, the Logic. It brilliantly illustrates
Pippin's extraordinary Hegel scholarship. It is also remarkably
readable and so will be of interest not only to philosophers and
philosophy students, but to a wider audience as well."--Rolf-Peter
Horstmann, Humboldt University of Berlin
"With Hegel's Realm of Shadows the analytic, American
interpretation of Hegel has come full circle. . . . There is no
doubt that Pippin's interpretation is a feat in both Hegel and Kant
scholarship."-- "British Journal for the History of Philosophy"
