Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) is considered a
philosopher of the Tradition, both in the sense that his work is
rooted in the political, artistic, religious, and philosophical
traditions of European culture and in the sense that he takes up
the notion of tradition as an object of philosophical
investigation. This collection examines Hegel's philosophy as it
bears on the meaning and relevance of tradition - historical,
legal, aesthetic, religious, and philosophical. The thirteen
original essays draw upon and celebrate the work of H.S. Harris,
who is considered by many to be the most influential interpreter of
Hegel in the English-speaking world.
The collection as a whole examines Hegel's rich and nuanced
relation to his own traditions, including his creative reworking of
the legacies of Greece, Rome, Christianity, the Middle Ages, early
modernity, and his immediate predecessors. It also shows how
Hegel's thought has direct relevance for us today as we seek to
understand ourselves in relation to our inherited traditions. The
volume concludes with an afterword by H.S. Harris and a
comprehensive bibliography of Harris's published works.
This important anthology represents the first rigorous and
systematic effort to apply Harris's seminal and innovative style of
Hegel scholarship to a wide variety of philosophical and historical
issues. It functions both as a study of Hegel's philosophy and as a
commentary on Harris's vast contribution to Hegel scholarship.
