Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) is one of the most significant German
Jewish philosophers of the twentieth century. Published in German
in 1920 and now finally available in English for the first time,
Hegel and the State is a major contribution to the understanding of
Hegel's political and social thought and a profound analysis of the
intellectual currents that shaped the German state in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through careful readings
of Hegel’s early handwritten manuscripts, Rosenzweig shows that
Hegel was wrestling with the problem of how to reconcile the
subjectivity and freedom of the individual within a community and
ultimately the political state. According to Rosenzweig, the route
out of this conundrum chosen by Hegel shaped his mature political
philosophy, where he saw the relationship between the individual
and the state as reciprocal. At a deeper level, the significance of
Hegel and the State lies in the way that Rosenzweig explains the
failure of Hegel's quasi-communitarian view of the state to emerge,
due to the authoritarian direction of the newly-unified German
state under Bismarck. Anticipating the political and moral disaster
that was to follow, Rosenzweig concludes by questioning the very
viability of any theory of the state that relies on the pillars of
bureaucratic militarism and a government-supported capitalist
business culture. With the inclusion of a Foreword by Myriam
Bienenstock and a substantial Afterword by Axel Honneth, Hegel and
the State is a ground-breaking work of early twentieth-century
philosophical and political thought. It is essential reading for
students of Hegel, German Idealism, Jewish philosophy, and the
origins of critical theory. It will also be of interest to those in
related subjects such as the history of sociology, and German and
intellectual history.
