Donald Phillip Verene has advanced a completely new reading of Hegels Phenomenology of Spirit. He shows that the philosophic meaning of this work depends as much on Hegels use of metaphor and image as it does on Hegels dialectical and discursive descriptions of various stages of consciousness. The focus is on Hegels concept of recollection (Erinnerung). Consciousness confronts itself with the aim of achieving absolute knowing. This is the first commentary to regard metaphor, irony, and memory as keys to the understanding of Hegels basic philosophical position.

If this essay had to do with such artifice, these words should not have been allowed to enter right from the start; but like the cabinet minister in a comedy, they should have been required to walk around throughout the whole play in an overcoat, unbuttoning it only in the last scene, allowing the star of wisdom to flash forth. Hegel, Wer denkt abstrakt? (1807)

Preface
Hegel had an extraordinary command of metaphor and irony as well as a deeply rational mind. In his major writings Hegel employs these powerful tropes together with the discursive statement of his philosophy. We have only to think of the much-quoted owl of Minerva metaphor from the preface to the Philosophy of Right or the assertion that the true is a bacchanalian revel from the preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit to realize that Hegel combines the great discursive power of his thought with an equally great rhetorical power of expression. What Hegel says in his philosophy is extraordinary and how he says it is equally extraordinary. We have become so accustomed to regarding the rhetorical elements in a philosopher's thought as mere embellishments that we read right past them. Later we may use the philosopher's metaphors as keys to recall the meanings of his doctrine without a very clear awareness of the role these are playing in giving us access to the thinker's thoughts.
