Beginning with a close analysis of the preface, where Hegel himself addresses the book's difficulty and explains his tortured language in terms of what he calls the \"speculative proposition\", Reid demonstrates how every form of consciousness discussed in \u003ci\u003eThe Phenomenology \u003c\/i\u003einvolves and reveals itself as a form of language. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElucidating Hegel's speculative proposition, which consists of the reversal of the roles of the \u003ci\u003esubject\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003epredicate\u003c\/i\u003e in such a way that the \u003ci\u003ecopula \u003c\/i\u003eof the proposition becomes the lively arena of dialogical ambiguity and hermeneutical openness, this book offers new onto-grammatical readings of every chapter of \u003ci\u003eThe Phenomenology\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNot only does this bring a new understanding to Hegel's foundational text, but the linguistic approach further allows Reid to unpack its complexity by relating it to contemporary contexts that share the same language structures that we discover in Hegel. Amongst many others, this includes Hegel's account of sense-certainty and the critique of the immediacy of consumer culture today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Reid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350213632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350213630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.52d","brand":"Jeffrey Reid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071396081919,"sku":"9781350213630","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d13743cd-938b-429b-a7b3-795593027840.jpg?v=1685435847","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hegels-grammatical-ontology-jeffrey-reid-9781350213630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
