(1983) Philosophy of Mind/Philosophie de l’esprit, Dordrecht, Springer.
As with any highly systematic body of thought, Hegel's philosophy of mind can be reconstructed from many perspectives. Each one gives us something though some are more illuminating than others. But I believe that it is particularly illuminating to see Hegel's Philosophy of mind though the perspective of his philosophy of action. This is of course hardly a surprising doctrine. Mind (Geist) for Hegel is thoroughgoing activity (Tätigkeit). But I think the insights from this perspective can be enlivened made more penetrating if we relate Hegel's thought to a set of perennial issues that have been central to the philosophy of action in modern times. This is what I want to attempt in this paper.
