Terry P. Pinkard (born 1947) is an American philosopher and distinguished university professor emeritus at Georgetown University. His research and teaching focus on the German tradition in philosophy from Kant to the present.[1] In addition to his own thought, Pinkard is a "noted Hegel scholar" whose translation of Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit is "accomplished" and "admirably clear."[2]
