Much of contemporary philosophy, political theory, and social
thought has been shaped directly or indirectly by Georg Wilhelm
Friedrich Hegel, though there is considerable disagreement about
how his work should be understood. He has been described both as a
metaphysician and characterized as an ironic narrator who
anticipated the character of philosophy after metaphysics. His
position is equally ambiguous with regard to his political thought.
He has been construed both as an enemy of the liberal state and as
a friend of freedom. This volume's revisionist reassessment,
building on the scholarship of Klaus Hartmann, explores these
ambiguities in favor of a non-metaphysical reading of Hegel's
arguments. It also shows how the foundations of his political
thought support a liberal democratic state. This reappraisal of
Hegel's arguments resituates him as a philosopher who anticipates
the difficulties of post-modernity and offers a basis for
reassessing ontology, aesthetics, and revolution. Philosophers and
those doing work in political theory will find this volume of great
interest.
