Selected Bibliography

Interest in Hegel, which was already great, now seems to be growing rapidly. Although there are many studies of Hegel, there are relatively few full-length studies of the Phenomenology and even fewer detailed commentaries. This is a selected list of works on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, limited to English, French, and German sources, including a few more specialized studies.
