This brief text assists students in understanding Hegel's philosophy and thinking so they can more fully engage in useful, intelligent class dialogue and improve their understanding of course content. Part of the Wadsworth Notes Series, (which will eventually consist of approximately 100 titles, each focusing on a single "thinker" from ancient times to the present), ON HEGEL is written by a philosopher deeply versed in the philosophy of this key thinker. Like other books in the series, this concise book offers sufficient insight into the thinking of a notable philosopher, better enabling students to engage in reading and to discuss the material in class and on paper.

The exploration of truth and deception is central to this work, as it delves into the intricate relationship between epistemology and morality. Alison Leigh Brown examines how the rise of multiple epistemologies complicates our understanding of truth and lying, suggesting that they coexist in a complex interplay. By differentiating between the moral implications of lying and the epistemological state of being in untruth, the author weaves a phenomenology of deceit alongside a dialogue with a student, enriching the discussion on these profound concepts.
