A book that argues that this philosopher preemptively criticized the traditions of Durkheim (“dur-KEM”) and Weber (“VAY-ber”) claims that an influential reading of this philosopher overlooks the logic of the “speculative proposition” in his work. That book by Gillian Rose is titled for this philosopher “contra sociology.” A school sometimes named after this philosopher included T. H. Green and Bernard Bosanquet (“BOH-zen-ket”). J. M. E. McTaggart wrote several books explicating this man’s philosophy, including a commentary on a book in which this man divides the title subject into being, essence, and concept. The British idealists were influenced by this philosopher’s introduction of the concept of “the Absolute.” For 10 points, name this German philosopher who wrote about the development of Geist (“guyst”) in The Phenomenology of Spirit. ■END■
