This later impression was printed on 25 September 1980 by L’Imprimerie Floch in Mayenne and published by Aubier in the “philosophie de l’esprit” collection.

Condition is Grade B: solid softcover, light sunning and shelf wear, mild tanning to edges, clean interior with no visible markings. A strong reference copy for scholars and collectors of Continental philosophy. Hippolyte’s translation of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit remains essential and, despite being a later imprint, should maintain stable market value in serious collections.
