Free Will and Continental Philosophy explores the concepts of
free-will and self-determination in the Continental philosophical
tradition. David Rose examines the ways in which Continental
philosophy offers a viable alternative to the hegemonic scientistic
approach taken by analytic philosophy. Rose claims that the problem
of free-will is only a problem if one makes an unnecessary
assumption consistent with scientific rationalism. In the sphere of
human action we assume that, since action is a physical event, it
must be reducible to the laws and concepts of science. Hence, the
problematic nature of free will raises its head, since the concept
of free will is intrinsically contradictory to such a reductionist
outlook. This book suggests that the Continental thinkers offer a
compelling alternative by concentrating on the phenomena of human
action and self-determination in order to offer the truth of
freedom in different terms. Thus Rose offers a revealing
investigation into the appropriate concepts and categories of human
freedom and action.>
"Hegel's Philosophy of Right" is a classic text in the history of
Western political thought and one with which all serious students
of political philosophy must engage. While it is a hugely important
and exciting piece of philosophical writing, Hegel's ideas and
style are notoriously difficult to understand and the content is
particularly challenging. In "Hegel's Philosophy of Right: A
Reader's Guide", David Rose explains the philosophical and
political background against which the book was written and, taking
each part of the book in turn, guides the reader to a clear
understanding of the text as a whole. This is the ideal companion
to study of this most influential and challenging of texts,
offering guidance on philosophical and historical context; key
themes; reading the text; reception and influence; and, further
reading.
