The project aims at creating an active hypertext of a section of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. There will be designed terminological and definition links as well as reference links that transfer the reader to other materials or to other parts of the text (providing bridges between related passages). Other hyper elements include expansions that open up new information to several levels and interpretative links that explain often hard to understand concepts and ideas discussed in a primary source at a highly adequate but more accessible for students level. One of the most important hyper levels developed will be a level of open (kind of “why”) questions that will not only highlight gaps, contradictions, and issues in the text, but also evoke certain kinds of responses, even lead toward particular lines of interpretation. A hypertext document will allow students to go beyond just the surface level, help them enact the questions and thought processes that a skilled reader would experience, and make it possible for them to get a deeper understanding of the text. The reading of a hypertext document will encourage more imaginative questioning and interactive reading; will push students beyond those preliminary interpretations and toward critical and analytical thinking.
