Summary:

"Hegel's metaphysics must be presented as the twin agencies of human reason and absolute revelation. The manuscript systematically works out the reciprocal complicity between absolute and human agency. This is a perfectly defensible and indeed a much needed interpretation of Hegel's overall philosophy. The author admirably applies this thesis to many particular aspects of Hegel's system, with some unique analyses, especially in the Philosophy of Nature, and with applications to contemporary science and speculations as to the origin of the universe."-- Provided by publisher.
