Abstract

Ng's book is an exciting, new, captivating interpretation of Hegel that is at once an original, comprehensive reinterpretation of his philosophy with the potential to fundamentally alter how it is understood. On Ng's reading, Hegel's speculative thesis along with his account of self-consciousness also have their roots in the purposiveness theme inherited from Kant. She maintains that the "core tenets" of Hegel's philosophy can be understood through the "purposiveness theme" inherited from Kant's a priori principle of purposiveness in his I Critique of Judgment i (5, 43).
