This international collaborative project on G. W. F. Hegel’s philosophy includes contributions by eighteen scholars of 18th to 20th century philosophy.

It opens with a comprehensive account of Hegel’s Science of Logic followed by detailed treatments of the Philosophy of Nature and the Philosophy of Spirit from the Encyclopaedia of Philosophical Sciences. Three further parts of this volume investigate key concepts and interpretive issues, paradigmatic forms of Hegelian argumentation, and main lines of Hegel’s influence since the mid-19th century. The volume contains chronologies of Hegel’s life and works, a bibliography of primary and secondary sources and an analytical index.

Some of the best features include an annotated chronology of Spinoza’s life, bibliographies of his major influences and critics, a substantive dictionary of key Spinozan concepts, summaries of Spinoza’s principal writings and concludes with a chapter on Spinoza’s place in modern academic scholarship. The volume is also updated with words on the recent major event in Spinoza scholarship with the discovery of the Vatican manuscript of Spinoza’s Ethics.

The Certainty Trap: Can Christians and Muslims afford the luxury of fundamentalism?
A certainty trap has sprung up within both Islam and Christianity, resulting in a world struggling with the fallout from extremist and violent interpretations of what the word of God might mean.
