Recording of a lecture delivered on October 2, 2015, by Andrew Alexander Davis as part of the Formal Lecture Series. Dr. Davis is a professor at Belmont University.
Davis describes his lecture: "Hegel claims that truth must be presented in a system. He also claims that there can be no preface to a system of philosophy. I explore the purpose of Hegel's preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit in light of these two claims."
