In Hegel's Rabble, Frank Ruda identifies and explores a crucial
problem in the Hegelian philosophy of right that strikes at the
heart of Hegel's conception of the state. This singular problem,
which Ruda argues is the problem of Hegelian political thought,
appears in Hegel's text only in a seemingly marginal form under the
name of the "rabble": a particular side-effect of the dialectical
deduction of the necessity of the existence of state from the
contradictory constitution of civil society. Working out from a
thorough analysis of this problem and drawing on contemporary
discussions in the work of such thinkers as Alain Badiou, Jean-Luc
Nancy and Slavoj Zizek, the book proceeds to re-examine and
reconstruct Hegel's entire political project. Ruda goes on to argue
that only by re-thinking this problem of 'the rabble' in Hegel's
thought - the only problem Hegel is able neither to resolve nor to
sublate - can the early Marxian conception of 'the proletariat' be
properly understood. The book closes with an Afterword from Slavoj
Zizek.
