Jeffrey Reid is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Ottawa.

“Insightful, organized, and helpful, this book is engaged with both nineteenth-century and contemporary scholarship. Jeffrey Reid has written a compelling and intriguing book concerning the role of the Absolute in Hegel’s corpus. Reid flows well between dense textual work on Hegel and concrete examples and discussions of wider scope. The book will be valuable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students in philosophy and religious studies, and to scholars in philosophy, theology, religious studies, and the humanities in general.”- Peter Costello, Professor of Philosophy, Providence College “Reason and Revelation in Hegel is a much-needed interpretation of Hegel’s overall philosophy given its seasoned generality and maturely nuanced interweaving of many themes in the Hegelian corpus. Jeffrey Reid admirably applies his thesis to many particular aspects of Hegel’s system, with unique analyses, especially in the Philosophy of Nature, and with applications to contemporary science and speculations as to the origin of the universe.” - Francis K. Peddle, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Dominican University College
