In an era when philosophy often fragments into competing schools and fashionable skepticism, Philosophy without Foundations returns to one of its most challenging figures to recover a powerful, unifying vision. Through a series of tightly argued and strikingly original essays, William Maker reexamines Hegel not as an abstract metaphysician of the past, but as a rigorously critical thinker whose insights remain vital for confronting the dilemmas of modernity.Rejecting conventional interpretations, Philosophy without Foundations presents Hegel as a non-foundational and non-metaphysical philosopher, one whose dialectical method opens new possibilities for understanding reason, knowledge, and philosophical method itself. From the problem of beginning philosophy without presuppositions to the role of systematic science, the discussion unfolds with clarity, precision, and intellectual force.The second part extends this reappraisal into contemporary debates, offering provocative engagements with hermeneutics, Marxism, postmodernism, and transcendental argumentation. Along the way, Maker challenges prevailing assumptions and invites readers to reconsider the place of philosophy in a fractured intellectual landscape.Written for the thoughtful general reader as well as the seasoned philosopher, Philosophy without Foundations does not demand agreement, it demands reflection. As it unsettles familiar conclusions and reveals overlooked implications, it exemplifies philosophy at its most alive: critical, demanding, and deeply relevant.

Leading scholars consider Hegel's philosophy of art and its contemporary significance.Hegel's Lectures on Aesthetics present a systematic and historical overview of the nature and development of art in light of its meaning and philosophical significance. This book considers Hegel's aesthetics from a variety of perspectives. With a strong and clear introduction by William Maker, the individual essays address Hegel's treatment of music, painting, comedy, and architecture, as well as his earlier writings on art, his relations to Schiller and to Schlegel, his treatment of romanticism, the place of aesthetics in the system, and his controversial claims about the overcoming of art. Several perspectives focus specifically on the contemporary relevance of Hegel's aesthetics in light of developments in art since his time, and especially in connection with modernism, postmodernism, and deconstruction.Contributors include William Desmond, Brian K. Etter, Andrew G. Fiala, Martin Gammon, Edward Halper, Stephen Houlgate, David Kolb, Stephen C. Law, Judith Norman, Carl Rapp, Jere Surber, and Richard D. Winfield.
