"I almost can't believe I read this book. Seeing it on the "Books Read 1/8-11/30/80" list had me running to the philosophy shelves and assuming it was Lectures of the Philosophy of History, a much shorter work. Then, to make sure, I checked the bibliographic card file, found both titles and looked again. There it was--an old copy, the title barely visible on the spine, and some annotations in my hand within. For instance: "Hegel begins here with the rational solipsism whereby human understanding-reason (the two are not clearly distinguished in the Kantian sense) is recognized as entirely constituative of the world as it is knowable. From there--a demonstrable premise--he takes the step whereby our (possibly) qualified knowledge is potentially identified with the Gnosis itself. This step, however, is a major one. Hegel may be accused of (in a Kantian sense) confounding Reason qua Absolute with the all-too-human Understanding, degrading the former while inflating the latter to a dangerous level of hubris and confusion. At best this is a rational faith--one to which I subscribe, I hope, humbly."
Although that rather lengthy marginal note is typical of notes running throughout my copy of Kant's First Critique and Kemp Smith's Commentary, I find that subsequent notes in the margins of The Philosophy of History are few and quite short. And now it comes back to me! I read this thing mostly in the Volume II Bookstore/Cafe on Sheridan Road across from Loyola University Chicago's Lake Shore campus. After Hegel's introduction, I got frustrated with his tendentious generalities and no longer expected much of the book, finishing it simply because it is hard to let off on a book once it's been started and because the prefatory materials are over a hundred pages long.
Ah, Hegel was so exciting during the first readings of him in seminary, so disappointing when seriously pursued!"
