Abstract

It is a great pleasure to review Prof. Crites’ work again. The present book was first presented in a shorter version at the Wofford Symposium on Hegel’s Philosophy of Religion in November, 1968. Crites’ essay was omitted from the Wofford collected essays because of space limitations, but its omission there has resulted in subsequent revision, enlargement, and the consequence of this provocative and enlightening volume. The present reviewer served, along with Professor Arthur Lessing, as a critic of the Wofford version of the present work. The Cunning of Reason has arranged a second encounter between Professor Crites’ and my views of Hegel and Kierkegaard.
