About the Author:

PETER SINGER is one of the highest-profile writers on ethics today, regularly drawing fire for his views on such hot-button issues as abortion, animal rights, euthanasia, and war. The New Yorker says he "may be the most controversial philosopher alive; he is certainly among the most influential." Born in Australia, he has taught at Princeton University since 1999, and lives in New York.

Review:

`Review from previous edition an excellent introduction to Hegel's thought... Hegel is neatly placed in historical context; the formal waltz of dialectic and the dialectic master and slave are economically illumined; Singer's use of analogy is at times inspired.'' Sunday Times
