Hegel's philosophy has witnessed periods of revival and oblivion,
at times considered to be an unrivalled and all-embracing system of
thought, but often renounced with no less ardour. This book renews
the dialogue with Hegel by looking at his legacy as a source of
insight and judgement that helps us rethink contemporary economics.
This book focuses on a concept of institution which is equally
important for Hegel's political philosophy and for economic theory
to date. The key contributions of this Hegelian perspective on
economics lead us to the synthesis of traditional approaches and
new ideas gained in economic experiments and advanced by
neuroeconomists, sociologists and cognitive scientists. The proper
account of contemporary 'civil society' involves comprehending it
as a historically evolving totality of individual minds, ideas and
intersubjective structures that are mutually dependent, tied by
recognitive relations, and assert themselves as a whole in the
ongoing performative movement of 'objective spitit'. The ethics of
recognition is paired with the ethics of associations that supports
moral principles and gives them true, concrete universality. This
unusual constellation of seemingly remote fields suggests that
Hegel, read in a pragmatist mode, anticipated the new theories and
philosophies of extended mind, social cognition and performativity.
By providing a new conceptual apparatus and reformulating the
theory of institutions in the light of this new synthesis, this
book claims to give new meaning both to Hegel as interpreted from
today, and to the social sciences. Seen from this perspective, such
phenomena as cooperation in games, personal identity or justice in
the version of Amartya Sen's 'realization-focused comparisons' are
reinscribed into the logic of institutional theory. This 'Hegel'
clearly goes beyond the limits of philosophical discussion and
becomes a decisive reference for economists, sociologists,
political scientists and other scholars who study the foundations
and consequences of human sociality and try to explore and design
the institutions necessary for a worthy common life.
