Forty years in the making, this long-awaited reinterpretation of
Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit is a landmark contribution to
philosophy by one of the world's best-known and most influential
philosophers. In this much-anticipated work, Robert Brandom
presents a completely new retelling of the romantic rationalist
adventure of ideas that is Hegel's classic The Phenomenology of
Spirit. Connecting analytic, continental, and historical
traditions, Brandom shows how dominant modes of thought in
contemporary philosophy are challenged by Hegel. A Spirit of Trust
is about the massive historical shift in the life of humankind that
constitutes the advent of modernity. In his Critiques, Kant talks
about the distinction between what things are in themselves and how
they appear to us; Hegel sees Kant's distinction as making explicit
what separates the ancient and modern worlds. In the ancient world,
normative statuses-judgments of what ought to be-were taken to
state objective facts. In the modern world, these judgments are
taken to be determined by attitudes-subjective stances. Hegel
supports a view combining both of those approaches, which Brandom
calls "objective idealism": there is an objective reality, but we
cannot make sense of it without first making sense of how we think
about it. According to Hegel's approach, we become agents only when
taken as such by other agents. This means that normative statuses
such as commitment, responsibility, and authority are instituted by
social practices of reciprocal recognition. Brandom argues that
when our self-conscious recognitive attitudes take the radical form
of magnanimity and trust that Hegel describes, we can overcome a
troubled modernity and enter a new age of spirit.
