Published here in English for the first time, it includes a substantial preface by Jacques Derrida in which he explores the themes and conclusions of Malabou's book.<br><br><i>The Future of Hegel: Plasticity, Temporality and Dialectic</i> restores Hegel's rich and complex concepts of time and temporality to contemporary philosophy. It examines Hegel's concept of time, relating it to perennial topics in philosophy such as substance, accident and the identity of the subject. Catherine Malabou also contrasts her account of Hegelian temporality with the interpretation given by Heidegger in <i>Being and Time</i>, arguing that it is the concept of "plasticity" that best describes Hegel's theory of temporality. The future is understood not simply as a moment in time, but as something malleable and constantly open to change through our interpretation. <br><br><i>The Future of Hegel </i>also develops Hegel's preoccupation with the history of Greek thought and Christianity and explores the role of theology in Hegel's thought.<br><br>Essential reading for those interested in Hegel and contemporary continental philosophy, <i>The Future of Hegel </i>will also be fascinating to those interested in the ideas of Heidegger and Derrida.</P> 1262598 28 10 2004 The Future of Hegel: Plasticity, Temporality and Dialectic total:2|5:0|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:0| 2 9 7 0 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 11:59:37 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 11:59:48 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 08 08:50:53 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 08:50:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Dec 18 20:05:41 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 20:05:41 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 10 17:01:43 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 17:01:43 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 28 16:47:14 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 28 16:47:14 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Jun 06 17:38:38 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 06 17:38:38 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Apr 26 13:08:36 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 26 13:08:40 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1273640
