Summary: The Wrong Premise
Comment: The introduction claims that to get a picture of any philosopher's thoughts, it is usually best to approach him from a single representative work, but that Hegel is an exception.
That premise is rather shaky at best, most of Hegel's influence has come from his Phenomenology of Spirit, and while some still claim that it is an immature work which he later abandoned, it still makes for a better introduction than this volume.
And then there's the selections. for The Phenomenology, the editors chose to use the Baille translation, which is quite unfortunate. English usage has shifted dramatically form its stilted 1931 usage, and even so, it is full of inconsistencies, so that Hegel's technical use of the German is lost.
The inclusion of the Logic defies it. While reading The Phenomenology may, like Ulysses, require a guide, The Logic is more like Finnegan's wake--completely intractable. Especially to introductory students to which this volume is obviously aimed.
If your interest is Philosophy, read The Phenomenology. If your interest is Politics, read Philosophy of Right. If you're ambitious, and have a lot of time on your hands, read both.
