In this book, Michael Marder combines the two, telling a story about the struggles and tribulations of energy entangled in Hegel's dialectics. Through an innovative interpretation of actuality (Wirklichkeit) as energy in the Hegelian corpus, the book offers an intriguing lens for understanding the dialectical project and the energy-starved condition of our contemporaneity. To elaborate on this theory, Marder undertakes a meticulous rereading of significant portions of the Phenomenology, where the energy deficit of mere consciousness gives way to the energy surplus of self-consciousness and its self-delimitation in the realm of reason. In so doing, he denounces the current understanding of energy as pure potentiality, linking this mindset to pollution, profit-driven economies, and environmental crises. Surprising and deeply engaged with its contemporary implications, this book doesn't simply illuminate aspects of The Phenomenology of Spirit—it provides an entirely new understanding of Hegel's ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 392g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 229 x 34 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780810143395                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Marder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096590217466,"sku":"9780810143395","price":35.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/e16d98ddff6d306a9042c948b3487aef.jpg?v=1635740960","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/hegels-energy-a-reading-of-the-phenomenology-of-spirit","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
