Mary C. Rawlinson offers a critical analysis of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit that exposes three crucial elisions: Hegel’s effacements of sexual difference, human mortality, and literary style. Demonstrating the power of Hegel’s phenomenological method, The Betrayal of Substance is a magisterial rereading of this challenging masterwork.
