Kaufman (who is most well known for his translations of Nietzche), said that Hegel was better in English than German because it was impossible to structure such ponderous sentences in English. Be that as it may, it is possible that Hegel took many many words to say very little. It is better to read ABOUT Hegel than to try to read him directly. I read a book once called "Hegel, Kirkengaard, and Marx", which talked about the dialectic approaches each used. I lent it to a friend so I don't have the author at hand, sorry. -- scc!steiny Don Steiny - Personetics @ (408) 425-0382 109 Torrey Pine Terr.
