Beskrivning
The renaissance in Hegel scholarship over the past two decades has largely ignored or marginalized the metaphysical dimension of his thought, perhaps most vigorously when considering his social and political philosophy. Many scholars have consistently maintained that Hegel’s political philosophy must be reconstructed without the metaphysical structure that Hegel saw as his crowning philosophical achievement. This book brings together twelve original essays that explore the relation between Hegel’s metaphysics and his political, social, and practical philosophy. The essays seek to explore what normative insights and positions can be obtained from examining Hegel’s distinctive view of the metaphysical dimensions of political philosophy. His ideas about the good, the universal, freedom, rationality, objectivity, self-determination, and self-development can be seen in a new context and with renewed understanding once their relation to his metaphysical project is considered. Hegel’s Metaphysics and the Philosophy of Politics will be of great interest to scholars of Hegelian philosophy, German Idealism, nineteenth-century philosophy, political philosophy, and political theory.

Recensioner i media

"This volume is a welcome reminder that there are underutilized theoretical resources in Hegel for thinking through the hopes and disappointments of modern politics." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"The volume is logically divided into three sections: the first deals with the larger connection between Hegel’s metaphysics and his political philosophy; the second section with both the metaphysics of Hegel’s political philosophy and its distinction from Kant—an important topic, given the Anglo-American reception of Hegel; and the third section with topics more specific to Hegel’s political philosophy. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." – CHOICE Reviews
