Beskrivning
Scholar and philosopher Jeffrey Reid's latest monograph, Reason and Revelation in Hegel, offers a new understanding of Hegel's metaphysical thought, centring on the Absolute's self-revelatory agency – its unfolding through nature, human thought, and history.Structured in four sections, the book explores absolute agency and the relationship between eternal truth and historical temporality. How does absolute presence take place in art, religion, and philosophy? Finally, questions of systematicity and meaning are engaged with reference to the Big Bang universe, our experience of music, and the question of what Hegel’s Science leaves behind.Reason and Revelation in Hegel stands out in the landscape of Hegelian studies, where dominant trends often downplay metaphysical dimensions in favor of analytic, materialist, and secular interpretations. Rather than reducing Hegel’s religious ideas to cultural phenomena or aspirational human consciousness, Reid argues that the Absolute is not a distant metaphysical object but an active, performative force within rational human striving itself. In this view, the failures of historical actuality become openings for philosophical truth – shaped by, and inseparable from, eternal revelation.

“Insightful, organized, and helpful, this book is engaged with both nineteenth-century and contemporary scholarship. Jeffrey Reid has written a compelling and intriguing book concerning the role of the Absolute in Hegel’s corpus. Reid flows well between dense textual work on Hegel and concrete examples and discussions of wider scope. The book will be valuable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students in philosophy and religious studies, and to scholars in philosophy, theology, religious studies, and the humanities in general.”- Peter Costello, Professor of Philosophy, Providence College “Reason and Revelation in Hegel is a much-needed interpretation of Hegel’s overall philosophy given its seasoned generality and maturely nuanced interweaving of many themes in the Hegelian corpus. Jeffrey Reid admirably applies his thesis to many particular aspects of Hegel’s system, with unique analyses, especially in the Philosophy of Nature, and with applications to contemporary science and speculations as to the origin of the universe.” - Francis K. Peddle, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Dominican University College
