Hegel's Phenomenology, Part 2

Kainz's book is an analysis and commentary on the second half of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. It follows his earlier exposition of Hegel's Phenomenology, Part I: Analysis and Commentary (University of Alabama Press, 1976) and continues where that work left off. Kainz's work provides the reader with a very useful guidebook through the wandering mazes of Hegel's difficult work. It follows the text closely, clarifying important ideas in a refreshing way and shedding light on obscure passages without giving the impression that the original is simple, for it recognizes the persistence of key problems in Hegelian interpretation.
