There is a didactical as well as a philosophical importance to
providing a commentary on the Preface to Hegel's handbook on the
philosophy of right. Considering the fact that the text brings us
the thought of a great and difficult philosopher in a non-rigorous,
"exoteric" way, it is well suited to the task of introducing
students to the world of think ing. It is, however, too difficult
to do this without being supplemented by some explanation. Analysis
and hints for further study are necessi tated here by both the
interweaving of political and philosophical viewpoints and the
philosophical presuppositions with which this Preface is full. The
philosophical importance of a commentary on Hegel's text can be
found partially in the incessant quotation of the Preface in the
literature on Hegel's philosophy to justify very different and
contra dictory interpretations. As long as the specialists do not
agree about the meaning of the Preface to the Philosophy of Right,
anyone trying to explain it cannot avoid the task of making his or
her own contribu tion to the philosophical debate concerning the
nature and content of Hegel's work."
