Every paragraph of this edition consists of several layers, and they have different authors. Whoever knows this reads differently — and cites correctly.
At the top: what Hegel published
The main text — the paragraph itself, as Hegel had it printed. It is terse to the point of unfriendliness; it is the binding version.
The Remark, set off as a quotation block. It too is by Hegel and was printed with the first edition. Here he becomes expansive, polemical and often concrete; whoever reads only the main text misses half the book. The sharpest sentences of the Groundlines stand in Remarks.
Below: the apparatus
The further layers stand beneath the paragraph as separate, individually attributed contributions:
Hegel (notes) — his own handwritten marginalia and preparatory sheets. By him, but not for the public; often telegraphic, sometimes surprisingly plain.
Transcripts — Wannenmann (1817/18), Homeyer (1818/19), Griesheim (1824/25), an anonymous one from 1819/20. What Hegel may have said in the lecture room, in the hearer’s words. Here one finds the examples that are missing from the book.
Eduard Gans (Addition) — the passages that Gans assembled in 1833, after Hegel’s death, from such transcripts. The most readable and therefore most quoted part, but the furthest removed from Hegel’s pen. Gans himself conceded that the choice of words is at times his own.
Hegel (Encyclopaedia 1817/1827/1830) — the parallel passages from the three editions of the Encyclopaedia. One sees how the same thought changes over thirteen years.
The logical development — an explanation of where in the logical course the paragraph stands and why it stands there. It is an addition of this edition and not Hegel.
Hegel (plain) — a modern paraphrase in accessible language. Not an original text; meant as an aid to understanding, not for quotation.
Karl Marx — his commentary, where there is one. Reception, not Hegel.
Cross-reference — the editorial voice of this edition, where a connection to another passage is worth noting.
A reading recommendation
On a first pass: read the main text and the Remark, and leave the rest. On the second: add the transcripts, because the examples are there. The Addition is often the best way in for understanding and the worst for documentation — the two should not be confused. Why this is more than pedantry is set out under Is this sentence even Hegel’s?
Literature. Karl-Heinz Ilting (ed.), Hegel. Vorlesungen über Rechtsphilosophie 1818–1831, 4 vols., Stuttgart 1973/74 – the edition that first made the transcripts separately accessible; Dieter Henrich (ed.), Philosophie des Rechts. Die Vorlesung von 1819/20, Frankfurt a. M. 1983; authoritative today Gesammelte Werke, vols. 26,1–26,3, Hamburg 2014/15. – On what this means for citation practice: Is this sentence even Hegel’s?
