Since 1945, there have been two waves of Anglo-American writing on
Hegel's political thought. The first defended it against works
portraying Hegel as an apologist of Prussian reaction and a
theorist of totalitarian nationalism. The second presented Hegel as
a civic humanist critic of liberalism in the tradition of Rousseau.
The first suppressed elements of Hegel's thought that challenge
liberalism's individualistic premises; the second downplayed
Hegel's theism. This book recovers what was lost in each wave. It
restores aspects of Hegel's political thought unsettling to liberal
beliefs, yet that lead to a state more liberal than Locke's and
Kant's, which retain authoritarian elements. It also scrutinizes
Hegel's claim to have justified theism to rational insight, hence
to have made it conformable to Enlightenment standards of
admissible public discourse. And it seeks to show how, for Hegel,
the wholeness unique to divinity is realizable among humans without
concession or compromise and what role philosophy must play in its
final achievement. Lastly, we are shown what form Hegel's
philosophy can take in a world not yet prepared for his science.
Here is Hegel's political thought undistorted.
