Marx and Hegel on the Dialectic of the Individual and the Social is
a detailed investigation of the major works of Hegel and the young
Marx with exploring how the concept of the individual is positioned
within their ontologies and how this positioning is reflected in
their related political views. Instead of contrasting a Marxist
understanding of the individual with that of a liberal thinker,
Sevgi Dogan chooses to take Hegel's theory of the state as
representative of the modern state, which Marx criticizes. The
decision to be in opposition to Hegel rather than some other
liberal thinkers is important for two reasons. First, since Marx
has developed many of his early ideas in critical interaction with
Hegel, this comparative approach enables the book to present a more
thorough and well-grounded exposition of Marx's arguments. Second,
since Hegel himself has also criticized the concepts of liberal
ideology in many respects, differentiating Marx's arguments from
those of Hegel's enables the book to underline how and why Hegel's
critique of liberal ideology falls short of actually empowering
individuals in the way that Marx's account does.
