"White's edition of Hegel's monumental work on politics is excellent: useful to first-time readers and specialists alike. It is the best English translation of this work to date: accurate down to small details of the German, and highly readable. The Introduction, notes, and glossary provide just the right amount of information and, more importantly, provoke philosophic reflection. . . One rejoices in a translation that gives students and teachers access to a profound and difficult work that can provoke the most searching examination of modern political assumptions."
