Hegel Dictionary (The Blackwell Philosopher Dictionaries)

Summary: Good, but...
Review: Michael Inwood's Hegel dictionary is a great resource for helping one navigate through the dense fog of Hegel's philosophy. Inwood sheds light on Hegel's odd usages of seemingly standard terms, such as "negation," which under Hegel's pen bear significantly different meaning: to put it mildly.

However, I was disappointed to find that throughout much of the dictionary Inwood offers standard dictionary definitions of words, but neglects to indicate what HEGEL MEANS by a given word. Hegel's usage of terms is quite often so bastardized that standard definitions will not suffice. What a struggling undergrad (or grad) student needs to know is WHAT HEGEL MEANS, HERE, IN THE PHENOMENOLOGY, for example.

Blackwell's Kant dictionary is much more helpful in this regard, but, you take what you can get.

I would recommend using this Hegel dictionary (at least until a better one comes out).
