Hegel. The result deserves to become the standard reference work for this dimension
not only of Hegel but also of the entire ilcalist context." Review of mataphysies.

and Anglo American Hegel scholarship, contributes new perspectives on the gnostic

phenomena. Hegel and the Hcrmctic Tradition covers Hegel's philosophical corpus and
shows that his engagement with Hermeticism lasted throughout his career and
intensified during his final years in Berlin. Viewing Hegel as a Hermetic thinker has
implications for a more complete understanding of the modern philosophical tradition,
and German idealism in particular… (lisätietoja)
