NOTES
- As Marx states “It is the intention of the present inquiry to work out the ‘Idea’ of the Phenomenology by means of an interpretation expressly confined merely to the ‘Introduction’ and ‘Preface’ of that work”, p. xii.
- See A.W. Flach's detailed review of Marx's book in: Archiv fuer Geschichte Der Philosophie, 55.Band 1973 Heft 1 (pp. 100–114). Flach concludes (p. 112) that “Nicht eine der mittlerweile zahlreichen Arbeiten ueber Hegel's Phaenomenologie des Geistes verschafft so viel Einsicht in den Hegelschen Phaenomenologie-Gedanken wie dieses Buch von Marx” (= none of the hitherto published works on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit provides so much insight into Hegel's phenomenological thought as this book by Marx”).
- Marx refers—in this context—to “present-day examples of such assimilation” (as) “are to be seen in the endeavours to interpret the Phenomenology of Spirit…from a phenomenological, ontological, Marxist, existentialist, or history-of-Being point…” p.
- As Marx argues: “The second task of the Phenomenology is connected with the first, inasmuch as the presentation of the history of experience is-nothing else but the history of the generation of the ‘concept of knowledge’ “, p. 50.
